twirlyboggs: I saw the picture--it looks like you have a fender twin and a PRS hollowbody, which is exactly my setup. My twin if 5-6 years old. I'm having a loud hissing/hum problem when i crank the gain above 3 or 4. Just had all tubes etc replaced and fixed footswitch. Plus i had the PRS electronics cleaned up too. My tech found loose solder joints in the Twin and fixed them. However, the loud hiss/hum is still there....

Does it still do this without your guitar plugged into the amp.

If it only does it whilst the guitar is plugged in, it could be a pot on the guitar becoming deceased, not the amp.

MY guitarist had this same problem. We thought it was his new twin acting up only to find out that it was a pot in his guitar.

Good luck, if it's not the guitar it could well be one of the pots in the amp.

yeh, it has the hum even when using a different guitar and even with no guitar. On another thread in this forum, Tissan is helping me out. so today i plugged my guitar directly into the Power Amp In on the back of the Twin, and there was no hum at all, so Tissan says that means the amp is good. i'm trying another test tomorrow to check out the pre-amp. Keeping my fingers crossed, because this really is the best-sounding amp i've ever had, when the band is playing and it drowns out the hum. But using it in a studio is pretty rough...
