Do you mean turning it down to 20% overall gain or 20% from full gain? Well, either way the answer is that gain is distortion. Distortion is amplifying your signal until it clips/distorts. Whenever you have a lot of distortion, it is amplifying the ground noise on your guitar that you wouldn't hear normally without it being amplified by distortion. Just get a noise gate, like the Boss NS-2 or MXR Smart Gate and you can have all the distortion you want with no hissing noise because it eliminates the sound below a certain decibel that you set.
