hum/buzz coming from cab

Hey, i've got this odd hum/buzz thing going on with my amp. When the amp is turned on without my instrument cable plugged in, there is a fairly solid (not like it appears something is broken, but rather more annoying) buzz/hum coming out of the cab. Even with the gain to 0, there is still buzz. and Oddly, with the master volume set to about 2, there is no buzz, but at 0 and above 2 there is. When actually plugged in, the sound is quiter, yet still slightly audible. What the hells going on?

Also, i just added in a KORG DTR-1000 tuner, could that be doing it? I noticed when I use the mute feature on the tuner, the buzz gets much louder. Tried screwing with the ground/lift on my amp and it didnt do anything. heres my setup:

Eden WT 800B, Korg DTR 1000 in the "pre" preamp effects loop, both plugged into a Furman M8 power conditioner.

any ideas?
