Learn from my fail: before spending 45 minutes substituting tubes in every socket more than once to figure out what is causing the strange static underneath bass notes, then plugging into a mixer and finding it there, too, thereby determining it must be something in both of your main gigging guitars and spending another half hour cleaning pots and checking solder connections, go ahead and try a guitar cord that's different from the Mogami one you got from Gutter Center a week ago and that has been the single common element in all previous tests. A solution may be closer than you think, my dear Watson.

it's often the simple things we over look
Just because it's new doesn't mean it works

What strikes me as interesting is that it seems like an example of "if you're used to using a hammer, everything looks like a nail." If you're used to working on amps...

Mega-d'oh.

Yeah, I had a similar thing happen with my D'lite.
I was convinced the OT was blown.
No output, hum or anything, nada.....

Finally checked the speaker cable and it was bad.
It had worked five minutes earlier.

It was a strange coincidence because I had just changed a bunch of stuff on the amp, so I thought I had fried that OT.
