It goes Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Hummmmmmmmm like a 120 cycle hum that goes away when the 3rd preamp tube is pulled.
With only the phase inverter and power tubes the hum is gone.
It's not the preamp tubes.

Are you servicing this amp for a client, or is it yours now?

Is the amp from the San Luis Obispo area?

The amp belongs to A.J. that's all I have so far...he complains that the effects loop is so noisy it's UN-usable.

Ok, that makes sense now. I know AJ and that amp. AJ used to work at the EBMM guitar factory in SLO and bought this amp about 5 to 8 years ago from the amp room that EBMM uses to test their products. I actually opened it up and took about 3 pics of it, mainly to capture the builder's signature and use it to contact and confirm that it was indeed built by Mr Martin Kidd (Yes it was!), who at the time had just moved on to the newly formed Victory Amplification.

What I do remember from seeing and playing through that amp after AJ bought it, was that one of the input jacks was all wonky. I can't remember if it was damaged or just missing a part. But told him it was an easy fix and how to go about it.

The Cornford Mk50 H is a fantastic amp and I so wish i could have bought this if I would have been allowed to do so. AJ got an insane deal on this used amp while working for EBMM. The matching Cornford 4x12 cab came with it too.
