Markbass advice

Bought the 102p yesterday from GC. Got it home and was playing Breedlove through it on 33% master volume 40% Gain and verything else flat. After 2 minutes had massive arcing/shorting (blue light...the whole works) from where cable was plugged in. Powered down after about 2 seconds.
Now have a loud hum/hiss when not playing a note and to my ear the tone is screwed..sounds almost empty/hollow.
Any idea what could have caused this and what "damage has been done"?
Cheers
