What fuse for power cord GK MB210?

My GK MB210 came with a Euro power cord, no problem as I have plenty of UK cords here - but what fuse should I use (Euro plugs don't contain a fuse)?

Max 580W @ 230V = >2.5A, so a 3A fuse should be good?

You'd probably get better results asking on a UK forum. Or ask G-K directly.

The fuse is inside the amp. If you bought it from a Eu dealer for UK use the correct fuse and wiring are already inside the amp. If you bought from the US or other non 220Volt country the amp may need to be rewired (internally) and the correct fuse installed. Contact jason@gallien.com for schematics your amp tech. will need.

I bought it from a UK dealer and it's for the Euro market voltage so no problem there.

I know the correct fuse will be inside the amp, however a UK plug has to have a fuse in it so I need that to also be the correct value.

I have emailed Jason - thanks.

3A should be more than adequate.
