===============================

this thread could get big.... i know every time i get a new [used] synth,
if it hums, i open it up, and cut the green wire, of the AC.

i'm sure there's a theory that states i'll be electrocuted, but it always
works fine.

this is on a system where the mains wiring is bug-free.
