Pull the rectifier (if it's a tube type), insert new proper amp fuse & see if the sucker pops again with standby switch, only. If no.... prolly need new rectifier. If yes, could be power tranny or any filter cap prior to the standby switch. :(

If that doesn't work, take the amp to any authorized Fender dealer for service -- you still have three years of warranty remaining.

Disregard -- your amp has a solid-state diode stack. There is no rectifier "tube" to remove, check, or substitute.

Be sure to have the original bill of sale in your possession when you take the amp in. Nothing happens until an authorized Fender dealer sees and confirms the date on the receipt.
