Blues Deville Blows Fuse at Idle??

How does that happen? I went to re-bias, with the current bias settings that i had been playing at for a year now and i come back to a hot smell and a blown fuse. whats up with that? :roll:

Did you put in some new tubes? Could be a bad one. Try pulling the tubes and replacing the fuse. If it doesn't blow when there're no tubes in it, but it blows when you have the tubes in, well, there's your answer!:grin:

Thanks!!! I didn't know i could turn the power on with no tubes in the circuit.

the problem was caused by the dumbest move in history, and was totally my fault... the lower tubes i replaced are not very conductive ( i think that the word) so i had to crank the bias way up to get them close to 32ma per tube. the new, and i'm assuming highly conductive set was reading over 80ma per tube at the same bias setting as the other set... oops, what can i say... the tubes lived though, and a quick fuse replacement and the amp sounds great... i'm lucky i didn't fry anything... live and learn, right...

Woo hoo! Lucky beats good 90% of the time.
