Brand new amp. It was plugged into a power supply but overloaded the power supply and tripped the outlet the supply was plugged into. Heard a quiet pop and then no power. With new 8amp fuse unit turns on and starts fan but quickly overloads the fuse. Could issue be that the fuse is not the exact same name brand fuse that was originally in it?
..if it is blowing fuses it needs to go to a shop..if you bought it new it has a 5 year warranty, you need proof of purchase or have registered it with the factory...it will be repaired and shipped back no charge. We do this.
Very unlikely, sounds like it's faulty. Was this on plugging in or were you using the amp, and if so doing what? What is your supply oltage?

The preamp section has a problem. It could be anything in the preamp but is OFTEN the input jack itself. They take a lot of abuse.
Also the insert jack contacts that forward the preamp to the power amp if no external FX are used can go bad.
Additional things are circuit board cracks caused by rough handling and also controls that have had the knobs mashed in which can destroy the potentiometers they are connected to.

I don't believe there is a power "outlet" on this, only an "inlet".
Usually the inlet will have a lead, often green, that goes to the chassis.
There will usually be two other wires, often black and white that connect to the other two pins.
From the back of the connector, with the center pin tied to the grenn wire of the triangle lower, the pin to the right should be the white and the pin to the left is the black wire

Check w dealer about warranty - I thought it was 2 years? Great amps when they're working! I love my tone on it! :)

If the amp has done a lot of hours, the output tubes may be worn out.

Chances are one of the power amps has shorted. Replacing the fuse probably fried additional components. Unless you are electronically adept this is NOT a DIY repair.
Expect that this is going to be an expensive repair as often quite a few transistors and other components fry when one goes in these power amps.
