If it is blowing fuses with nothing attached it's time for a professional overhaul

Its going back to Audio T tomorrow as its only a few months old so im sure they will sort the problem.

The fuse that goes in the back is 3.15a would it be ok to try a 2a or 5a or should i leave it alone.

You could employ a six inch nail but it isn't going to solve the underlying issue. 🙂

If it’s blowing the standard fuse, it’ll definitely blow a smaller one. And the 5amp will put the whole amp at risk, not to mention invalidating the warranty you’re presumably depending on. Don’t do it!

If it's under warranty leave well alone

In the original post, you said it was blowing a 1.5 amp fuse, here you say it's a 3.15 amp.
That's reason enough to take all the above advice to leave it alone.
If it's going back to Audio T, it's hard to understand why you're getting involved.
Make sure it's got the very same fuse that was in it when you received it. even if it is blown, get it out of the bin if necessary.

Well i am disappointed they didn`t lend me an amp but that don`t mean i think anything less of the shop they give good service and are generally very helpful. so will be going back if i need to purchase anything 😀

I don't blame you, I've had great service from them too.
(Sadly they closed Brentwood, the nearest branch to me).
