rooster	Re: Hum trouble with 6G15 Reverb kit Between the green wire from your power cord and your chassis ground, insert the following: 2 diodes back to back (anode of one connected to cathode of the other, so you end up with a unit that breaks over at .7V in each direction); strap a 22 ohm resistor across that, and a .01uF cap across that. Mine doesn't hum, but if I run it into a high gain amp, it makes a gawdawful racket when the Vibrato is on. But when would you run vibrato with high gain? rooster.
