I have a Mark IV B which has recently developed a hum problem that i want to eliminate (naturally ;-) ). Here ist what I have observed so far:
What could be the cause for this issue - and the remedy?
Thanks for your suggestions!

- - With the amp turned on, the hum appears even when no cables at all are connected.
- The volume of the hum is dependent on the output level control.
- The volume of the hum does not depend on any of the 3 input hgain controls.
- With channel Rhythm 1 turned on, the volume of the hum is also dependent on this channel's master volume control.
- In the Rhythm 2 and Lead chsannels, the volume of the hum is independent of the channel's master volume control (the MV controls increase or decrease the noise but not the hum).
- Finally, the volume of the hum also depends on the reverb level. With the reverb level at zero the hum is gone, regardless of all other settings.
