Amps left in high humidity. Am I crazy?

I've got a building seperate from my house that I use for a jam place. I never leave my guitars down there, they come back to he house with me, but I do leave my amp and pedals down there. The humidity can run anywhere from 70 to 80 percent, which worries me sometimes. When I'm down there I'm running the air conditioner, which lowers the humidity a little, plus I just pop down there accasionally and run the dehumidifier even if I'm not going to be down there.

Will that kind of humidity have a serious negative effect on the amp? I've had it down there for about a year and it seems fine. It's always nagged at me though. I don't want to leave it down there if it's going to ruin it, but dragging it up and down that hill every time I want to go down there sure is a bitch.

    I'd maybe worry about corrosion (rust, etc) but if you haven't noticed any problems...

    You could always get a de-humidifier.
    ...and if you don't like it, you can suck on an egg.

    You don't have to worry about rust, there is no salt in the humidity
