It seems even with all power coming from one outlet, I have one amplifier with some hum. It is way less and by playing with levels I was able to make it so low as to not be noticed. However my plan of isolating everything should fix it completely.
Look at the signal cabling or even nearby EMF sources. I recall ages ago

Over 100 ft of unbalanced input. The hum was not there with the power ground lifted (now fixed). I will be Changing things so I have balanced out of the mixer -> through snake -> one to one isolation transformer -> unbalanced to amp.

My final setup will be: all stage powered instruments or unbalanced sources will have a DI (transformer with ground lift), All returns to stage will have isolation transformers. Mics go straight.

Anyway the hum was low enough that I had to tell people it was there, so I am at "good enough". I do have two pots at max and one very low to get it to work that way though. I will see what my isolation box does.
