Hey! I bought a Engl Savage 60 this past weekend and while it sounds great it has this really annoying hum that I haven't experienced before going on even if the master is zero.

Any ideas what to do? Powertubes? Pre amp tubes?

I recorded a video example. It goes humming for real in the middle of the clip:

Usually i would say that is a microphonic valve

Try prodding the valves one by one with a pencil or a chopstick to see if it causes it.

i am unsure as to whether this would still happen with the master on 0 though logic tells me it shouldnt be amplified in that case...

Do you have anything in the loop?
