Digital tuner noise

Howdy tubesters!
So I got my first amp working and used a Crate.... what is it called, the wood / composite box with the speakers and the amp... its fine...
Anyway it had a stand alone digital tuner that I incorporated by powering it with the 5v heater line and Cap/Diode voltage multiplier. The lines from the tuner were three, black red and white. I assumed the white is audio in since I could not find any documentation since it is probs manufactured specially.
I tapped the the guitar jack with a 33k resistor and sheilded wire grounded by the jack to the female 8mm mounted on the bottom / back of the chassis (******* weird *** spelling for a word). Problem is when I connect the male to the chassis mounted one a terrible noise is present in the signal.

I have tried a standalone transformer for the thing, and noticed that just having the ****** plugged in to the chassis with no power it makes the noise.
And you will notice at an attempt to smooth the signal with bead and caps....

Any advise would be very much welcomed.

Thanks!

I dont want to get side tracked but, by definition a word used in a language that comes from a different one and uses different spelling conventions, is weird.
Thanks for the negativity though.

Did you have any thoughts on the tuner issue? I really need help.
