We've been trying to solve a hum problem. We know it's not the guitar (archtop with set in humbucker) because the hum only occurs in one particular place in the room. If we move the guitar even a couple feet away, the hum stops. Discovered that the hum is negligible when using a wood bridge and wood tailpiece. Worse with metal bridge and metal tailpiece.

Hey guys, I'm hoping someone can help here with fixing an earthing hum on my steel string acoustic guitar.

It has a Fishman infinity preamp and piezo under saddle pick up installed.

Observations : If I touch the metal end jack insert the hum goes away,
I put one hand on the mixing desk the hum is gone,

Before I purchased the Minimee tube amp I would frequently record a guitar amped (solidstate) and direct by employing a Roland A/B/Y switch routed as follows Guitar to Roland switch A to amp B direct to one of my PreSonus FP instrument channels. This never gave me any problems. When I tried this same routing with the tube amp I encountered an unacceptable level of hum in the amp.

ok, so i was playing around with some guitar and bass sounds. when i pluged into my Lexicon signature 284 tube ampy thing, all was well and good but the direct tone wasn't rockin' it for me [bitching as an actual amp, though...]
