So had a guy bring me a 75 watt amp that was doing this kind of thing. it had the same high pitch sound that is in your video. With that amp it was a bad connection at the ribbon cable for head phones and auxillary in on the headphone board. Everything looked fine. The connection was even glued in place, but when I applied pressure to the connection at that spot the noise went away. I stripped the glue off and re-seated the connection and the problem went away. If you aren't familiar with the inside of an amp, I would recommend taking it to someone who is and nudging them in the direction of checking your ribbon cable connections.

thank you for your help :) I recently found that hitting the top of my amp fixes it.. so I definitely think it's something loose
