Hum from Volume Pedal
I've got a Goodrich pedal that hums. Try what Randy suggests.

OK. This is a goodrich pedal; basically in new condition. The effect I'm getting is currently in my garage on a concrete floor where the is no underlying cabling issues.
There may be a leads problem, I'll get a couple of new leads and see if that fixes it.
I don't believe the amp has anything to do with it as the sound is clean when fed directly.
Would battery strength have anything to do with this?
Thanks for the "feedback."

Volume Pedal Noise
Make sure that you use soldered cables. However, I use soldered cables and my Goodrich still hums.

In you circumstance, Pat, I would suggest a call to Goodrich to see what they suggest. If it's under warranty it will only cost you shipping. If not, I'd find a good tech to look it over.
It could have a bad ground, or even a bad decoupling cap, but a good tech should be able to find and solve the problem. That may be the least expensive route anyway.
