Sometimes the amp head is picking up electrical interference that sounds like a grounding issue too. Power strips can cause hum issues too. They can also go bad, or for what ever reason don't work well with the head. I had a noise problem with a power strip. Tried another power strip, no noise.

Over the years, there have been times when using a different plug made a difference.

Before the amp power cords had groundings on them, you hoped the amp had a polarity switch onboard. If not, you unplugged it, and turned over the plug, and re-plugged it in.
