GGJ's post about his new T100D made me think of this. It may seem an obvious question but I have little experience with Tele type guitars.
I was drooling over an Anderson Hollow Classic T the other day, and was looking up info on it. Any sort of Tele I've tried - not many - has considerable hum with the single coils. I know if you take off the gain in the amp, it settles down quite a bit, and I know it is likely the middle position is hum cancelling.
I also know you can get "hum cancelling" single coils.
But given "standard" single coils, let me ask before I go somewhere and try it. If the gain is down, but let's say you then engage a distortion pedal or something like it, does the hum then return because of the pedal? Or is it only the gain control that causes the hum?
