No sound just hum in 18 watt stout

[taylorc315]

I just completed a 18 watt stout and all I get is a terrible hum, I checked the tubes and traced the wires and cannot find where it's coming from. I even changed the sockets out on two of the 12ax7s thinking that maybe to much solder, no good. any info would be GREAT!
