I love my bari Eleuke, but I've recently noticed it's giving out a strange electrical hum everytime I plug into an amp that's--in turn--plugged into AC power. For instance, with my Roland Mobile Cube, if I'm running it off the AC adaptor, I get the hum. If I literally pull the plug and let the amp run off batteries, it sounds clean.

I've tried different power supplies, guitar cables, and outlets. There are no pedals / accesories between the uke and the amp. If I use my guitar or bass with the amp, no hum. It's only when I use the Eleuke.

Any ideas, ye of greater knowledge than I?
 
Because you don't have hum on the street cube when not plugged into the wall socket, I would assume this is 60 cycle hum. I'm not an expert at all but have noted hum from the wall plug because of other electrical devices in the house. For our house the dimmer switches on lights have to be totally on or totally off to avoid this 60 cycle hum.
