Yeah, the Quickie doesn't really have a way to generate it's own hum since it uses batteries. Hum problems are due to ground loops betwen the Quickie and some other gear, or the Quickie picking up stray fields from other gear. So the usual solutions are improved grounding between the pieces of gear and increased distance from gear with strong radiated fileds.

 I changed IC's and shielded ones are better for reducing hum in this case. Once that was taken care of, I began listening to Elton Johns' 'Tumbleweed Connection'. Now that all noise is gone, I heard something that surprised me. On songs like Amoreena, I could hear the vibration of the strings on the honky-tonk piano. Just another benefit of getting it right.
