Default Slow-blow or fast-blow fuse in amp?

If I were to replace the fuse in my Stello, what should I use; fast-blow or slow-blow?

In electronics, use fast blow.
You don't want spikes to enter delicate components and ruin them!
In electric devices using motors or heavy duty components, use slow blow.
They will be able to take a short spike, but if current is over the limit for more than a spike, the fuse will blow and protect.

Just use the same as is already in the device. Pull out the old one to see which type it is.
