Anyone ever deal with 60 cycle hum? I played a gig last Sat, and my Xitone was humming so loud! Even with the tuner on. When I tested it out at home it was dead quiet... which leads me think it was a bad ground, or elec problem at the club.
 
I think youhave already identified the source of the problem. But as to how, or whether it's possible to resolve... that's a whole new world.

Sometimes using ground lift can sort it, at other times using a different power outlet, ultimately a bit of testing and playing about at setup time is required.
 
I use to play a big showcase club that had a terrible problem on stage right. l had to run an extension cord into the back room. I think it was the big rack of dimmer packs that were for the stage lights. Sounds like you had some bad power at your gig.
