Start with a 2A fast blow type. If this blows more often than you'd like, try a 2.5A instead (which is the mfr spec).
I wouldn't go any higher than that.

The rating on the back of the amp is for a 2AT fuse, which is a 2 Amp T speed (anti-surge) fuse, but the schematic shows a 2.5 Amp fuse.... 😕 A T fuse will tolerate higher currents for short duration than a standard quickblow of a slightly higher rating. If you're blowing fuses regularly, then I would go with a T fuse over a slightly higher rated quickblow. The T fuse will still fail very quickly under short conditions, which is presumably what they're intended for here.
Thanks. Learned something today!
Actually, I'm having trouble locating a T-type fuse.
Would this one do the job?

No, you need the SLOW BLOW or TIME LAG type fuses.
