Noise gate.

May we know what guitar you are using?

Certain types of guitar pickups are more susceptible to 60-cycle hum. Basically, singlecoils. If you are using humbuckers, or the second or forth position on a singlecoil-equipped strat, you shouldn't be getting hum. But feedback with distortion tones is a usual occurrence and if it is overly loud, try these:
- Face your guitar away from the amplifier.
- Do not play too close to the amplifier.

Or you might need to ground your amp. Basically, means to convert it from a 2-pin to a 3-pin if it is a 2-pin originally.

Also, you can use the in-built noisegate in your GT-8.
