Plug your guitar straight into the amp with no Pod. I'm talking Guitar-Cable-Amp. Now see if there's still hiss.

Sounds like a case of bad and too much distortion.

What kind of amp is it? Are you using single coil pickups? What is the guitar?

There are many things you can do to make a guitar sound better, but to me your problem sounds like it has something to do with the amount of distortion your dialing in with the pod.

Also make sure you're not overdriving the preamp. You could also check the AC, refrigerator, ground switch on the amp, or trying a different outlet.
