i have a question on my stage 100 amp.

when turned on without my guitar plugged in, there is no noise.
when i plug in, i definitely get a hum. it is not the typical 60hz strat hum, as it happens on my other guitars. the amp hisses like crazy when turned up.

is this typical of this amp-or solid state amps in general? or maybe it is an issue with my house wiring. does this happen with tube amps, or are they less likely to have these issues.

i just want a quiet amp

My Stage 100 DSP idled nearly as quietly as a vintage tube amp. The only time it exhibited any spurious noise was when certain of the time-based digital effects were switched on.
