Is there a solid fuse-like item that I can use in place of a fuse, to bypass it?


Hi All,

instead of using a "gourmet" fuse in certain situations, I want to bypass the fuse entirely with a solid piece of metal. I also want to avoid soldering-in a piece of wire in the fuse’s place.

Are there solid pieces of silver or copper, the same size as a fuse, that i can swap into a fuse holder?

Many years ago I picked up a Dan Electro guitar amplifier, a small tweed combo. I brought it to a friend’s house along with my guitar. (Les Paul BB) He had an EB3 (no amp) I was nice to leave it with him, first mistake. Second mistake was I brought a Big Muff given to me, which I forgot. A few days later he dropped the amp of at my home (not working and without the pedal, I wasn’t home) So I phoned him, "did the fuse blow"? "Uh ... yes" "Did you replace it with aluminum foil"? "Uh ... no. Uh ... I mean the fuse didn’t blow" 🙄 End of story is I donated it to my Amp Technician. Lost a good amp and lost a bad friend. 👎👍

Then you may next consider, as I've read a couple here have supposedly done, wire your amps straight into the wall ... 🙄 (don't)
