wiring appliance direct into junction box

Whether it's allowed or not, with an unswitched FCU and box coming in at around three quid, wouldn't you prefer having a 1A fuse protecting this thing that you're probably going to hide out of sight and smell, probably close to wooden rafters? :-)

Short answer, no. The installation instructions will more than likely specify a 3A fuse maximum and the regs require an isolator for the amp, (fixed appliance). I would fit a FCU with 3A fuse, a standard socket is argued against as someone could come along in the future and plug a heater or similar into it.
