Michael,

Good condition? Are you sure? It's a big deal only if you paid money 
for the amp expecting it to be fully intact. If you got it for free, 
it's still probably a bargain; if you bought it because the seller 
told you that it's in basic working order, and you didn't ask for 
more detail, then who knows what your recourse is?  Assuming that 
everything else is in order, then the amp will work with the 
DTXpress. What you won't get is the ability to send the signal out to 
an effects unit before it comes back for EQ and amplification--a nice 
option but not essential if you're on a budget, since the DTXpress 
has its own reverb, decay, and other elementary processing. The 
damage is certainly reparable, but a technician is going to charge 
you whatever it takes to make the effort to fix it worthwhile. If the 
seller was acting under false pretenses, he/she is liable for it--
unless you took the amp as is. Let us know whether the amp's basic 
operation is okay.
