Not sure where to post this so here it goes. I just got a 120w tube guitar amp and I've been going through and getting rid of noisy pedals and old patch cables which got rid of a lot of noise. One other thing that I noticed is that if I play bare foot on the cement floor I get significant noise... . So much confusion

Is it grounded?

According to the plug in tester the wiring is correct.

A"plug-in tester" will tell you if the wiring to the recepticle is correct, but not the wiring in the device you are powering from it.

A tube amp of that vintage may well not be grounded.

Is the cord end 2 or 3 prong?

Three prong

Is there a wiring diagram, and if so can you post a photo of it?

Does your instrument have passive or active pickups?
