Trace Elliot problem

So friday at a gig, another band was doing a sound check and they stopped playing. couple mins later, a mate comes in and tells me my amp is screwed. (yes im nice like that, letting others use my amp! mates with the guy anyway)
I get it home the next day, and it's a blown fuse, replace it and turn it on, nothing, another fuse blown! something is screwed.
Has anyone had simular problems with a Trace GP12SMX head? common problem? I know the possibilities of the problem are endless, but anyone have an idea what it could be?

If need be i'll take it to get fixed, sell it on and go Ampeg(what i've been wanting to do for a while, this is just a excuse too :smug:) I payed around £300 for it, so should get something around that for it now and have around £200-300 spare too for a Ampeg head, whats your suggestions?

Thanks guys,
