Yeah, the treble pot connects through a coupling cap to the FET.
That will make it hum.
How old is the amp?
Those FET's may be the noise source.
Then again I see an awful lot of electrolytic bypass caps.
It's hard to tell if they are leaking, short of replacing them or tacking on a temporary cap in parallel.

I think the amp is from the early 80s, maybe late 70s.
You're talking about VR2 - thats the treble pot right?
I still haven't figured the issue out. I was poking around and found this wire coming from the ETO transformer that had been cut and taped. Whats this line not used or might it been clipped for whatever reason?
The Blue/Black/White wires are coming from the other side of the transformer.
