ground your amp if the problem persists, check your pedal powersupply and check your guitar grounding

how to check if my guitar is grounded or not ??

 

[kahuna]

what guitar is it? If it has a strat like trem the should be a wire touching your spring claw, if it is a hardtail ala fender trem without the trem, there should be a wire under the bridge

Try change your amp's plug to a 3-pin plug.

Here's a guide - http://www.soft.com.sg/forum/gear-guitar/7982-changing-2-pin-plug-3-pin-plug-grounding.html

well, another easier way to ground it would be to grab the string every time you play.

might tingle though.
