Spider II fuse

support@line6.com — Mon, 19 Mar 2012 00:04:26 GMT

i have a Spider IIHD 150. the fuse on my amp was blown before while i was letting a friend borrow it years ago, and he had it repaired by a certified Line6 technician.

recently my head started cutting out, popping and such. when i checked the fuse i noticed that it was a 5a125v, even though the fuse holder AND the writing underneath the power input say to use a 4a250v fuse. so i looked at the stock fuse that had blown years ago(yes, i kept the old blown parts!) and it was also a 5a125v.

i'm wanting to replace the fuse to see if it has anything to do with the cutting out, but i'm not sure to go with a 5a125v or a 4a250v.

forgot to mention the problem is the popping and cutting out at the very beginning of the video.

the amp was repaired once after i let a friend borrow it and he blew out the fuse and two chips by the heatsink by running it through a bad power source.

i know it has nothing to do with the speakers or speaker outs because it does the same thing through headphones.
