Get yourself a home made audio probe, download the schematic and trace the signal, by the looks on the schematics there's possibly about 10 components that appear to be fried which a probe would point to and then you can solder replacements in their place...

Bring back valves!

AVT150 has a preamp valve. 

Admittedly it's no substitute for a nice class A low watt toob amplifier.

I has two full of valves

Anyway, that accident could be the best thing to happen to an AVT Marshall. Now go out and get yourself and Blackstar HT-1 or HT-5 and thank me later. Unless you want to gig then get a HT-40 or something.

I play an LC30 and I've never needed to push it past 4 when gigging.

A Blackstar 40 must be an absolute monster!

I had a Valveking 100w fully valve head, now that was a monster!

Although remember twice the power is not twice the volume

[Jack3559]

I do like the valve king.

Whenever I'm recording I use a Selmer Treble & Bass head which is a 50W and an Epiphone Hot Rod Valve Junior for others which is 5W. They're amazing pieces of kit and were proper cheap. If you need a replacement amp, check your local Gumtree for some valve combos at some really good prices.

I don't need anymore just offloaded one (5w single channel all valve head ) although the guy paid for it 3 weeks ago and hasn't had it collected yet and may fill it's gap with a new guitar.
