It'll blow more easily than a slow-blow. If there's a big transient spike, which often happens when you turn switching supplies off or on, it'll blow a non slow-blow fuse. A slow-blow fuse allows for some spikes, but not prolonged high voltage.on short notice I could find slow blow so I had to use a regular 2.5, I'll get a slow blow after the weekend but are there any dangers to running with this type of fuse?

Aye. Yup. Thank you!c/voltage/current.
yeah, got it sorted with 30 minutes to spare. thankfully there was a Lowe's nearby. Will def be adding a few fuses to my equipment bag, though. Was definitely freaked out for a bit though...when I hit that power switch and nothing happened my heart dropped, lol.Sheesh Jason this is hectic! Did you have to go out to a shop for the fuse? And did you start on time?
Things like this really shake my confidence right before playing live, hope things went smoothly for you in the end!

also thanks everyone for your help. I'd found the different threads when searching but the fact that the fuse slot said something different was confusing.
got it. in the moment it threw me off...also not an electronics expert, lol.The numbers on the slot were most likely referring to the max capacity of that fuse holder. Definitely not the fuse itself.
