I made a smaller/lighter housing for my old Randall RG head a year or two ago. Doing so meant moving the reverb tank a lot closer to the transformer. Now I get hum when I use the reverb, and the hum volume increases as I turn up the reverb.
It is not terrible, and it doesn't really get louder as I turn up the amp so not a big problem, but at bedroom volume the amp is totally silent with the reverb off and has this annoying hum with reverb on. Again, even with the amp volume way down the hum is not loud enough to hear while playing but I really like quiet stuff with minimal hiss or hum. Is there anything I can do to reduce the background hum from my reverb?
EDIT: it was just the @#$! RCA connectors. One wasn't making good contact.
