OK, I was walking through the kitchen with my guitar on with the strap and the strap popped off! Apparently my hand didn't have a good grip on it cause the guitar fell and hit the floor! There was no visible damage but I've since noticed that when I put it through the amp, no matter whether I turn Reverb all the way up or all the way down it reverbs and at the same level. Could this have something to do with the drop or is there something wrong withy amp?

The guitar is an OLP MM1
The amp is a Crate GX-30M.

Sounds like an amp problem. Since the reverb is produced by the amp, not the guitar.
Sometimes I hit notes only dogs can hear.

Oh, that's a crappy amp by the way. I used to have one of those. Replaced the overdrive switch twice. Sold it, and the guy who bought it replaced that and the input jack and the problem still isn't fixed so now he uses a pedal for overdrive.

That happened to me too. I was standing with the strap on and my guitar just fell straight down onto the strings. Luckily it didnt break it. I think you can get special things to stop it from happening.
I have heard so many bad things about crate. People always go on about how they are really unreliable.
By virtue of their electrical properties, tubes generate a special waveform when they're saturated, which is why tube engineering has tremendous tonal advantages over solid state or DSP solutions, particularly for crunch and lead sounds. Tubes enter the saturation zone gradually or softly, which lends tube-driven tone its trademark yet totally unique character.
