in a recording its easy to get rid of it, just EQ out 60HZ (or 50HZ if you are in europe.) getting rid of it live might be trickier, but try moving your amp and pedals around the room to see if there is a spot it wont pick up the frequency, if that doesnt work, you might want to try a different cable, sheilded if you have other electronic equipment around. generally dont use anything less than the quality of "monster" brand cables which is a good mid grade professional cable. cheap cables often cause bad noise. if that doesnt work, it might be the pickups of the guitar or whatever instrument youre using. Again, the better the pickups, the less of the 60HZ frequency will get through thereby when there is more gain from the pedal board, it wont multiply the unwanted signal as much.
or maybe the pedals you are using are creating the hum, in which case they might need to be replaced by pedals of higher quality.
all this advice assumes that the amp sounds fine when you unplug the pedal board.

Check your ground. The hum sound like a fedback off the line side.

Yeah either turn the volume down or buy a better amp.
