Help! Power amp blown?

[Executivos]

My live setup is a rack setup:

Power conditioner
Tuner
Pod Pro
Marshall 8008 solid state power amp

and a 1960 a marshall cab.

the cab can run in stereo and so can the pod and power amp so thats how i run it. With the switch in the back to stereo (8 ohms per channel) which matches up with my power amp.

I let a friend borrow my cab, and told him to switch it and use the 4 ohm input. When I got it back I plugged in my stuff and forgot to switch it back. OOOPs

after a 1/2 hour or so it just cut out. power amp won't turn on. did i blow a fuse or blow the whole thing? is this a marshall only repair or can some random electronics shop fix it. I have a show on friday. any estimates (i understand it might be TOTALLY ballpark) on how much? i can get another power amp for $150.

please help anyone.

I would say that it's a fuse.

If that amp doesn't have a fuse to protect it, I'd be pissed at Marshall for not having a "fail safe" system in place to prevent things like this from happening.

Start out looking to replace a fuse (... or possibly even a circuit-breaker?) and go from there.

I have a very similar rig to yours except I have a QSC amp and my marshall cab hasn't arrived yet. I think my amp just has a circuit breaker instead of a fuse. If your amp has a fuse it may be a good idea to buy a bunch of replacements and take them with you to gigs incase you blow one during your performance.

Pods sound pretty nice when you use em like a regular preamp, dont they? I prefer it over my old JCM 2000.
