Hey guys, I have a AD30HTC and the mains fuse keeps on blowing. I checked out the FAQ page and said it may be the rectifier tube but is there anything else that may be casuing this problem???
Thanks for any help!

Re: Blowing Fuses
If it's not the rectifier, my second guess would be a power tube. Ultimately, I think it will be a tube issue. Most of the other components in your amp are not very volatile. I'm sure an experienced tech would be able to find the problem with little trouble.

Re: Blowing Fuses
The rectifier valve is the best bet. (Power valve problems tend to pop HT fuses, not the mains one, though it is still a possibility.)

You don't give your location in your profile, but are you sure that you are using the right value mains fuses? Unlike the HT fuses the mains fuse values needed for 115 / 230V running are different.
