Something maybe loose or bunrout.  I don't think that speakers hums by itself.

Most of the time guitars and amps hum beacuse of the potentiometers are worn out or dirty.

It  hums no matter what I plug Into it. The potentiometers on the amp don't crackle when I turn them.

Or... have you tried it in another room/house? Also, is it hum or buzz? Buzz should improve as you turn down the treble whereas hum would stay the same. If everything is humming/buzzing there could be something nearby causing interference... I had a really bad buzz on my brand new amp recently, tried all my guitars, turned off everything electronic in the house and it didn't go. Tried the next morning and it was fine, must have been something next door!

Best to take it in to your local amp tech...could be a busted resistor, a bad capacitor, a problem with the motherboard...all kinds of things.

It hums because it doesn't know the words!

(Sorry, I only know bad jokes).

Oily has the best advice. Could be a lot of things.

Good luck!

Some amps pick up radio signals.

With all the modeling settings & gain & other bits n sorts, is it possible something like gain is set at full bore, creating the humming noise?
