ARGH! bad hum or normal hum?

AHAH! didnt go to the extent of turning EVERYTHING off but had the amp turned on and then remembered what you said about turning stuff off so i unplugged the tv power cable from the extension lead and BAM! hum reduced significantly!!!  :D  guess its this crazy electrical problem then.... anything to combat that other than turning everything off all the time... because that could get just a little annoying...


Buy a super-shielded power board. Something really expensive by Monster should do the trick. Also, buy decent guitar cables--Monster, Planet Waves, Spectraflex, etc.

You could try a power conditioner. I've been reading good reviews about the Furman Plus-8 (I think, this is all from memory). I'm thinking about getting one. I protects your amps from electrical noise and bad plugs.

Plus they seem to be going down in price.

Good Luck!
