Re: Getting Rid of Ground Loop Hum
Just for some perspective...
When I was playing Beatles and Beach Boys stuff back in college (yes, the '60s!), there WERE NO GROUNDED OUTLETS or 3-prong plugs. Between several Fender, Ampeg, and I think Bogner (PA) amps, something was probably humming. Worse yet were the shocks from the mike to your lips!
We just got a bunch of alligator clips and 8-foot pieces of hook-up wire and ALWAYS grounded the amp chassis together. We're still alive!

Our mistakes weren't quite so easy to undo
But by all those roads, my friend, we've travelled down
I'm a better man for just the knowin' of you."
