With regards to power line noise, on a separate front from distortion, that is not the amp but the electricity that runs it, and a truly clean amp probably has a good quality power supply that does what is needed to feed the amp clean power it needs to perform well. If not external power conditioning should help or be an insurance policy at minimum.
True that both noise and distortion makes an amp "unclean". The amp itself produces both to various degrees aside from the electricity it runs on.
The horror! What a mess!
