Peavey renown just loud noise (1984 or 1985)

The amp was blowing the main fuse, I replaced one of the output transistors (MJ15001) and the amp worked fine for several weeks.
I went in the other day and just turned on the amp, now I just get a loud noise, the fuse does not blow, Any ideas...vic

Switch on, front led came on, heard a loud sound in speakers, blew fuse. I put in a 5 amp fuse, switch on, then load sound in speaker, switch...
