Thanks for all the feedback.  I'll see what I can do and let you know how it goes.  :tu:

The white stuff is likely just the factory goob used to support large components like Electro Caps. (in the old days they used Real Brackets).
Judging by what you have said and looking at the fried components at what looks like the input socket, Then it's all bad news.

If *Mains* Voltage has been induced into that circuit then probably a lot more than 2 resistors are fried, unless you are gods best friend I'd say most chips will also be fried.
The poweramp may still work but that would be the best you can hope for.
Now it's just *Spare parts*

The amp works perfectly, on board efx and all, save for the loud hum.  Maybe I'm a foolish optimist, but the amp seems salvagable.  (or is my friend better off buying a new head and using it with this cabinet.)

I found two suspect spots.

In the second picture there is a white substance covering a few spots.

Your friend should pray 8 hours a day, just for being alive.
Besides that: what was he doing close to an *exposed electrical wire* with a guitar hanging from his neck?

Well I'm not exactly sure why he had an exposed wire in his basement.  I'm guessing it was one of those sketchy college houses.  He lifted the guitar up in the air (imagine the guitar hero power-up) , and caught part of the headstock or maybe part of one of the tuning mechanisms.

I will get some pics up as soon as I can.

So I'm writing for a friend who owns a Line 6 Spider 212 (100 watts).

The story goes:  He was playing guitar in his basement and was goofing around and apparently caught his guitar on an exposed (electrical) wire.  In the process of electrocuting himself, he also did some damage to the amp. 

Now the amp has the 60 cycle hum (or very equivalent sound) no matter what is plugged into it.

I would like to fix this myself, if possible, and save my friend some money.

Thanks
