ok, re-read your question.  sorry to answer re reverb hum when 
you're speaking primarily of transformer hum in general.  no idea 
how to shield it (good question). and i'm no ecectrician but i find 
putting an ebtech inline transformer in the signal path to or from 
the A100 to work 98% of the time.  these are handy regardless.  
for live shows i run my A100 into stereo guitar amps alot (plus DI 
boxes) and nearly always have hum in one amp w/o the ebtech 
box (model#HE2PKG), especially in europe where it's necessary 
to use a power transformer to step down to 120vAC.  also in the 
studio i'm often dealing w impedence nightmares and the little 
box usually kills the hum somehow.
