I've been playing some guitar in the tube amp I just bought and I noticed some loud hum when I'm on the ultra gain channel. I can touch the metal jack cover on either end of the guitar cord and it silences it. I'm playing a strategy through it and I realize there will be some 60 cycle hum but touching the end of the guitar cord won't silence 60 cycle hum. I haven't noticed it because it's barely audible on the clean channel and the gain channel. Barely audible but still there on those channels too. Touch the end of the cord and it goes away. Also, unplug the guitar from the amp and its silent.
Does that sound like an issue with the guitar or the amp?
