Hey guys, first post!

I have a 2002 Squier Champ 15 amp that came with the Squier Strat package. Recently we ran an electric drumset through the amp and put it on full blast. Unsurprisingly, after about 30 minutes of use it blew out. I looked into the circuit board to see if anything was fried and it all appeared okay. Is there something that is most likely the problem or could it be one of many problems? Thanks!

Would the amp still turn on in the speaker was broken? Mine doesn't (should have mentioned that).

Considering its a very inexpensive amp, go to Guitar Center and by a new solid state practice amp for $50. If you're lucky, you might find a Fender Mustang I for that price.

+1. Definitely not worth fixing.

I agree that it's not worth fixing......unless you simply blew a fuse. :wink:
