Hi Guys,

My BDEC works fine at home but when I take it along to my guitar group and plug it in it keeps blowing the 500mA fast blow fuse (you know the one at the back that 's built in to the mains socket). When I take it home, replace the fuse and try it, it works fine !

It's only just started doing this, I am wondering if it could be a voltage problem in the room where we all plug our amps in to. There's probably up to 20 amps of all shapes and sizes in there, could that be the problem ?

I'm fairly sure the my amp is ok as I have never had any problems at home so my question is ...... Could I replace the fast blow fuse with a different type (still 500mA) to see if that cures this problem, or is that just asking for trouble ???

Thanks,

Mark

If it only blows when you take it along to my guitar group, there could be a electrical problem in that room, particularly if it never has problem at home.

What ever you do not replace the fuse with anything other then the factory specified fuse. You will risk frying the amp. and/or voiding the warranty. Also, you could start a fire.

Lastly, you have to find out the reason the guitar group room keeps blowing your fuse because you are still risking possible damage to your amplifier or speaker. It should not keep happening their.
