I haven't tried it with the tank unplugged, but with the reverb turned off, most of the noise isn't there.
With just the amp powered on, you can hear a low frequency "hiss", the thing is not quiet by no means. and every now and then you hear what I can only describe as low distant rolling thunder, and it still pops when the de-humidifier cuts in, but not as loud. But that might be a grounding issue with my electrical system.
I want to take it to my local dealer for a check up , but don't know if those young guys know much about these old amps and their inner workings. I don't want to be replacing things un-necessarily.
Also sometimes the reverb won't work at all until you give the amp a tap, then it makes a little roar and kicks in.
There is a loose connection there somewhere. Taking it to my music shop tomorrow, gotta leave it. Will let you know what I find out.
