Just unplugging the reverb cables may not be enough to stop any 60 hz hum from the power transformer that may be coming thru.
Try this.
With both cables plugged into the board turn the reverb control up and tap each end of each cable.

On one cable you will hear a buzz when doing that, and that will be the cable that you want to short out across itself.

If the cables are not the thick gray stock ones but are thin replacements then just cut the cable off, strip it and twist the wire together. This will short the input to the recovery amp and may be kill off some hum.

When doing this with the amp on stay clear of any of the wires with the wall outlet voltage on them near the on/ off switch and the fuse area!
