The amp will have a label or marking on it stating the correct fuse rating, like 2A Slow Blow for example. The fuse in that amp, when you pull it out, will have a marking such as 250V 2A stamped in it somewhere. I've gotten more than one amp in for repair where there was a 5A or larger fuse, usually accompanied by one or more destroyed components inside the amp. The worst was over $300 in repairs because someone didn't want to spend the $2 or so to buy the correct fuse.
In short, a fuse rated over what the amp is designed for is usually a good sign there's a problem lurking inside.
