hello, sIII builder here from way back. lost my account so I re-registered. no big deal. Was hoping some folks still frequented this and could answer a quick question. troubleshooting hum on the normal side, it changes with volume; goes completely away with normal volume all the way to zero. With the volume up, I can hear it even when playing only on the TMB side. So to enjoy the tmb side I must have the vol all the way down on the normal side. If I use the Y button on my AB/Y box the hum goes silent and I can enjoy both sides. I suspect its something to do with my 47uf cap (c16). I believe its one of the bargain bin caps I got at a surplus shop. At this point knowing that my TMB side is fine, do you think I should just go ahead and swap out this cap? I was going to order one since the only other cap I have is probably close to 10 years old. Seems like there aren't that many components to look at so just wondering what someone else thinks of this. thanks, Don
