I have a Mustang III v2. When I'm using pedals like a tube screamer or sonic stomp I get a hiss that comes from playing. When I'm not playing there's no sound. I'm wondering if it has something to do with the amp or not. Any thoughts?

Sounds like you have a noise gate - either in one of your pedals, or active in the Mustang preset you're using.

Do you get any hiss just using your guitar with the amp, without the extra pedals? The guitar pickups and cable will add some noise/hiss to the signal. It could be that the pedals are amplifying this.

Do you get any hiss if you use your guitar and pedals into any other amp? Because the Mustang is a (compared to other guitar amps) non-hissy amp, any introduced hiss tends to be more noticeable.

In short, there's probably nothing wrong here, it's just one of those irritating things that all guitar equipment does...
