Your description sounds suspiciously like an open shield (ground) connection on
the amp's input jack. Open the amp so you can get at the rear of the jack, and
look at the solder connections there. I'll bet you find that the shield is
loose or has a broken solder connection.

Cheers!!!

Darn it, the jack is soldered to the circuit board and along with the
headphone jack, the tone and volume controls, holds the PCB to the
chassis! Is this fixable?
