My guitar amplifier produces no sound. I hooked extra speakers to it and turned it up all the way during a gig, and played for half an hour. Next gig, no sound from amp, and smoke comes from it and I turned it off fast.

My personal suggestion would be
to go for these repair catalogs. I know this website www.reliable-store.com that i used to get manuals from, and they have all models online.
I also brought for my 1989 BMW, such old model, they had it and it was very good manual. Go ahead, I bet.
That means that if too much power is going to the speaker or extraneous signals are being picked up by the wiring, it can come through the speakers as static. Stopping static requires finding and eliminating that extra electricity from transmitting through your speakers.
If you're still hearing distortion, turn down the volume on your amplifier until the distortion goes away. If the volume is too low to be easily heard, the problem may be that your amplifier produces too much power for your speakers to handle or that your amp and speakers have different impedance ratings.
It has something loose on the board or where the speaker wires connect. Combo amps are really bad about doing this. The vibrations from the speakers loosen the components on the board.
The volume setting on the speakers has LITTLE to do with how hard you are driving them. Your source might be extra hot and overdriving them. Read the specs on the speakers and use a sound meter to check your level. The speakers, being only 12 inch, should fill a room 20 foot by 20 foot to about 95 to 100 Db which you are only allowed 2 hours in MAX to prevent hearing loss. At 6 hours you should keep it down to 85 Db SPL. I know several deaf musicians that were exposed to high sound levels in rock bands... a deaf musician is kind of washed up.
It sounds like speakers are loading down internal DSP - contact any Guitar Center and ask one of their techs for sure. Double check your speaker connections also.
Likely one half of the full-wave rectifier has failed. Take in for repair. Sometimes output amp shorts to one power rail causing this. DO NOT continue to operate this until repaired as it will destroy the speaker!!!
usually combo amps are 8 ohm for guitar. a 16 ohm speaker load comes into play usually on half stack set ups. danville tec 10d, i would guess a ten inch speaker, which is also very common for guitar amps.
Nine times out of ten, any problem with an amp having no sound coming out, it's a wiring issue. Make sure all of the wires internal to the amp are propely hooked up. Also, try switching out the quarter inch cord you are using from your guitar to your amp. Could be a bad cable. Unless you have blown the speaker completely, something is loose or not hooked up properly.
