We had a fire in one of our branche offices a couple of months ago. The computer equipment was not lost in the fire, but exposed to the smoke. We had been told that the black smoke acts like an acid on the electronic circuit boards, and that the computers and other electronic devices should be cleaned by a specialized company. Otherwise the equipment could give problems after a while. I dont know if this is the case with your amp, but it might be.
