You could use 1.75 or 2amp fuses with no issue. Half an amp in current rating might make a diff with solidstate gear, it's nothing with tubes. If you're using the solid-state plug in module the amp will also likely pull more current.

Fender amongst others often changes these ratings with experience.

Your issue was probably the fast-blows. Slow blows just cope better with the surge on startup. Another reason to properly use the standby for warmup.
