I get a ton of hum when I plug into the #1 input jack on my NV 400. When I switch to jack #2 it's gone. Sound is good in either. Can anyone tell me why?

Jack 1 is the "normal" input and for most guitars. Jack 2 is for some (limited) devices/guitars that have a higher signal level input and Jack 2 drops the signal level for processing. If you have hum on 1 you still have it on 2 just a lower level. First thing to do is get rid of the hum, is it a "ground loop" hum from some effects?

Ok, that helps a lot. I go straight from guitar to Hilton VP to amp. Unplugging the Hilton from the guitar changes nothing, so I suspect it may be a cable or the Hilton.
