Need help for fuse question.

I have VTL MB125 amps. I recently installed a 20 amp dedicated line. After set up the system, I kept blowing the B+ fuses.
I went to Radio Shack to buy replacements, and the salesperson recommended 20-amp fast-acting 250 volt 1 1/4x1/4, 3AB ceramic fuses, whereas VTL recommends 1A ceramic Slo Blo.

My question is that after installing the 20 amp dedicated line, should I switch to a 20 amp B+ fuse? (I am not changing the main fuse)

Please help.

"Radio Shack - You've got questions, we've got answers". Wrong answers but answers none the less. I'd call VTL for answers if I were you.

DO NOT change the value of the fuse...you will damage the amp! Could be a bad tube...call VTL on Monday.

I would not deviate from the VTL spec. I might deviate in other areas of life, but certainly not from The VTL spec.
