Re: hum

You've probably already thought of this, but have you tried something like
Humfrees? They're "rack isolation tabs"; basically non-conductive washers
that break ground loops by isolating the chassis of each rackmount device
from the rack and from each other. 

Could it be an RF thing? Do you still get the hum if you change the
position of your effects in the rack relative to each other, a different
stack order? Where are your wall warts, if any? Do any of your mains run
too close to signal-carrying cables?
