So this is weird. I got the amp from my friends storage, not knowing if it works.
The broblem is:
It turns on, but the voicing and the effects are the only thing working!
The volume is at 10, and the channel selector led is on, even if i try to change channels.
So i ask of you: What the $@!?

You didn't say how long the amp had been in storage, but if the "storage" was damp and/or dusty, the connectors inside the amp could be dirty or corroded and not making good contact. Open up the amp, and disconnect, then reconnect all of the connectors you see. That's usually enough to clean them. If it worked before being stored, the problem should be something simple like that.

Also, pull the tubes out and check that the pins are all clean and making good contact with the sockets. Let us know how you make out!

First thing is to reset the amp digital section by pressing the Tap button for four seconds, until the tap light comes on. When it goes out in 5 seconds, it will revert to original settings.
If that doesn't fix it, there may be a connection problem. The channel led and the controls share a ground on the breakaway board. Connectors p23-29 need exercise and cleaning on the breakaway board. Good luck.

So tried to open the amp and clean the connections, didn’t help.

So; did you try TimsAudio's solution...or did you just get frustrated and give up on your "oversized paper weight"?
