First solution is false, since the Fender Rumble 60 is a transistor amp, not a tube amp. The highest voltage in it is 30 volts.
There is a fuse in my 2003 Rumble 60 inside the chassis. Its a clip-in 2 Amp fuse (for 120 v mains, or a 1 Amp for 240 v mains, i.e., Europe).
The chassis comes out after removing the two back top screws, and also all 4 top-handle screws (keep them separate), and also the two side screws, (each with a round raised metal washer) . Don't take out the corner screws.
The chassis slides out, but you have to be careful, since the wires are too short to allow it to come out. You have to get a pair of needle-nosed pliers and pull off the speaker wires, once you get it partway out. Then you need a pair of diagonal cutters to cut the plastic retaining strap to release the wires further, enough to manouver the chassis out and onto the top of the box.
Once you have done this without damaging the speaker wires or the light-switch wires, you can search the powersupply section (where the transformer is) for the clip in fuse on the circuit board.
To avoid this in the future, you can wire in a fuse-holder and mount it on the back of the chassis if you have a drill, soldering-iron, parts and wire, and some mechanical aptitude.
There is no reason the fuse can't be on the back, since there is no high voltage involved, just normal A.C.
While you're at it, make extension leads for the speaker wires so it is easier the next time to take it out.
Sorry, that should read the highest voltage other than the mains AC is 30 volts DC. I took the knowledge of the mains voltage for granted. Also. PLEASE MAKE SURE THE UNIT IS OFF AND UNPLUGGED BEFORE STARTING ANY WORK ON IT.Sorry, that should read the highest voltage other than the mains AC is 30 volts DC.

If the fuse has blown, it did it because of a failure within the unit. Replacing the fuse MAY cause additional components to be damaged. It is likely the fuse will blow soon after replacing if not immediately. Take unit in for servicing. The unit has high voltages within that if you are not experienced can be lethal. If you are lucky, a vacuum tube has shorted that caused this. If they are changed the amp will need to have bias checked and adjusted.

can you just pull down on the speaker connectors to remove them?
