Just turned on my amp, VHT Special 6 Ultra, and I'm getting a hum at just about 120Hz. (Strobe tuner app on my phone shows it to be just slightly flat of a 123.5Hz, B2.) Wasn't there last night, but definitely there now. Other than the hum, amp appears to be working as always, all controls work as before. Guitar tone appears unaffected. Interestingly enough, the volume control has no effect on the volume of the hum, but the "Watt" control seem to attenuate it at lower settings. Tried swapping out tubes. no effect, same for trying a different outlet. That's about as far as I'm prepared to go on a tube amp without some sort of guidance.
If any of you engineer types have a few moments to spare, I've attached a copy of the schematic for your perusal. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
