the house where i keep my amp got hit by lightning and while the amp wasn't plugged in at the time, i am trying to determine if it could have caused the problems i am now having.
1. the reverb has stopped working. no matter how high i turn it, there is no change
2. my footswitch doesnt change the channels. furthermore, changing to drive or more drive on the amp itself makes no change in the sound, again no matter how high i turn the drive knob or the master

okay, so all of these things are a bit of a nuisance, but didnt affect the clean channel.....until
3. the amp started making a sound like a machine gun. its kind of like the interference that happens when someones cell phone rings around an amp, but it goes on longer and no phones are ringing. the sound doesnt get louder or softer with any of the volume knobs, but it does get reverberated when i turn the reverb up.

if anyone has any clue as to what is the problem here, i would greatly appreciate some help.

I'm no expert on lightning, but I can't see how if it wasn't plugged in. But who knows? Strange stuff happens. Do you have homeowners insurance?

Some of the problems you describe are common to the Hot Rod series.
A good tech should be able to answer your questions.
