Hey guys, I turned my amp on this morning and it died!!! It's light came on and then went out, no bang on crackle or anything. It's a Framus Dragon Amp fully tube. Its not the plug in the wall cos i plugged in my pedals and they all came on, i tried a different kettle lead and it still didn't come on, could it be a fuse in the amp? (guessing their is a fuse) or could it be that a tube has gone? if it has how do i know? I'm new to tube amps. Any help would be massively appreciated!!! Thanks guys!

Sounds like  a fuse to me...try replacing the fuse then turning the power back on and see if that does the trick.

No probs...grab a few spares, valve amps can be temperamental at time!

True....also, if it starts blowing fuses on a regular basis you should change the tubes, for the output stage Svetlana is nice, pre-amp section Electro -Harmonix (if you want a brighter gainier sound) JJ-Electronic if you want a slightly softer sound.....
Just my two cents.
