If it has a detachable power cord, which it should, then many times the fuse is in the plastic section where the cord plugs in, so take a close look !
If it's does you pop the cord off and them pry out square section that the small fuse in loaded in.
When I die, I want to go like my Grandfather did, peacefully in his sleep.
Not screaming like the passengers in his car!

Cutting out a man's tongue does not mean he’s a liar, but it does show that you fear the truth he might speak about you!

Don't know who's amp picture is the one Drew so kindly posted, but that particular one is the Japan version, 100VAC .

Those must not be plugged into 120VAC, period.

They regularly appear on these shores, either brought by somebody who visited Japan (very common in Brazil, where it's customary for Nisei (first generation) kids to visit and work for a year there) or through "grey market" imports, say through Panama middlemen who get them cheap bypassing the regular distributor channels.

Worst is that amps usually do work when plugged, and sound very well in a 5 minute shop test ... only to explode when subject to the first gig.
