so I bought my Deluxe VM back in march of this year, I went in to practice today, when it just started humming. There was no guitar coming out it was just a loud hum. I immediately grabbed another cable, but still it hummed. I then moved it to another room, to see if it was a ground issue, but nothing changed it just sat there and hummed at me. I then took off the back strip panel to check the tubes. I removed them and reattached them making sure there was no dirt on the contacts, and that they were securely fastened. But i turned it back on, and it still was humming. I don't know how to tell if the tube is bad, but they do light up just fine. It even hums when nothing is plugged into it. I have no Idea what is wrong with it, but any help or info would be a godsend.

also, How do you check a filter capacitor on one of these things?

Try on a 3 plugs (gound wire connected to the physical ground). Otherwise, if it is still under warranty my advice is to contact the dealer for repairing. 8)
