    I bought a used peavey amp off musicstore.de and it arrived today. I plugged it in and turned it on but theres no power. I checked the fuse on the amp and it was burnt out. So i went to get a new fuse, had to go to three different shops before finding the right fuse. Put the new fuse in the amp turned the power switch on and there was power, then i turned on the standby switch and theres a loud pop, i checked the fuse and it was burnt out again. What could be causing the fuse to go? Also, there is no sound when i plug in my guitar and leave the standby switch off.

    Is the speaker properly plugged in? It could be causing something to blow if the cables not in fully. Also you said it was used? Was it a b-stock item or just a used one? There could be a bad power tube causing you trouble. A re-tube should fix that but you shouldn't have to do that to an amp you just got.

    Thanks for replying. I checked the speaker connection and it seems fine. This is the first tube amp I've had so i don't know much about them, but one of the tubes seems to be slightly dimmer than the other three. Musicstore said that it was an item that was returned as part of their 30 day money back guarantee, and that all items are in perfect working condition, but may have slight visual defects such as fingerprints or minor scratches.
