amp hum and how to avoid it.

[sattmims]

i play a joe satriani ibanez thru a traynor YCV60 amp. it sounds nice but, the louder i get, the louder the hum.

 

i can think of 3 places of where this comes from:

 

1. my pickups

2. tubes seem to generate more hum in general

3. electricity from my household

 

what's the best method to reduce/elimnate hum without affecting my guitar tone too much?

 

it gets irritating at low volume levels.

 

suggestions are encouraged and welcomed.

ISP noise decimator. depending on the noise, get a pedal and put it either in front of the amp or in the loop.
