Hello, I'm a drummer that also plays guitar, bass and keyboards! I am a songwriter
I play guitar and you are not even describing actual musical instruments. I have 5 guitars and have never worn the frets completely down on any of them in over 30 years of playing. A 200W tube amp supplying a 4 X 10 cab with 300w speakers in it? Doesn't happen and doesn't exist. I have a 120 watt Soldano head with a 4 X 12 cab with 25W Celestions in it. You must buy your stuff from outer space because they don't make it here. A two stage amp warms up in about a minute and the humming doesn't happen until you take it out of standby , even then a gate before the pre-amp fixes most of the hum even with single coils as long as they are decent quality and properly shielded. You lie like a cheap rug dude.20 years playing the Electric Guitar for better to hear. The bad part is that I go through a guitar every 2 to 3 years from wearing the fret down. So, I have to keep buying cheap ones. Never played in bands. Mega stage freight.
Like to tune out, crank up the 100w per channel amp at max. Stand in front of 4 big old 300w, 10in speakers. Lister for that humming to get lower as it warm up (It take about 2 min). I start jamming like Godsmack, Pantera, Blackflag, even ACDC until everything is off the walls and shelves. Things would be dancing around the floor as it vibrates. After about 2 hours. I start getting in that zone of brainwash high where there nothing running in my head. I began to play like Jimi, Stevie Ray and Santana. After about 2 hours of that. I shut everything down, walk out of a 10x10 room, sit down at my desk with a cup of coffee and a cigarette. Wife would be saying something, but I couldn't hear her.
