Problems that go away by themselves tend to return all by themselves. But who knows maybe you had just a slightly loose connection or maybe that broken piece was doing something that we just can't explain...YET. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Merry Christmas to you Inside a jack like that, there are often internal tabs that short the channel to ground when there is no plug inserted. That stuck tip probably lifted that protective ground connection without providing the "other" connections, leading to an open-input hum. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babadono Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 I did not see anything on the schematic that suggests this is "switching" or "normaling' type jack. But the schematic could be in error. @Emile @Edgar 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soooo HAPPY Thanks all Guess the broken tip introduced some feedback somewhere ... Good to see that your hum is gone. I was just kidding about buying a new amp, my way of trying to make you smile while you were solving the problem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
