I recently got in a small solid-state Gibson G10 amplifier that hummed really badly.
I replaced all the electrolytic caps, removed the death cap and installed a 3 prong cord. The main filter cap was dead. The amp still hums, but not as loud.
Here is the weird part. If I lift the ground on the power cord, the humming reduces in volume. You would think it would be the other way.
So I am stumped on this amp.
