Boss Pedals - Guitar Noise

Hi there, I hope someone could help me with my guitar noise.
I finally assembled my boss line up (attached picture) but I'm getting a strange noise when I touch the string (when boss NS-2 is activated). What can I do to eliminate that noise?
You can hear what I'm talking about in this youtube video. It's like a "pop" sound.

Thanks!

Well, it sounds like you're amplifying noise with your MT-2 in your fx loop.
Why is it even in the loop, along with the DS-1? And why do you have the delay and reverb in front of the amp?
I suggest running only the delay and reverb in the loop, and the rest in front of the amp.
I wouldn't even bother with having the NS-2 in the loop wired like this, it might be the source of the problem amplified by the dirt pedals.

Hi Dirk, the PS-6, DS-1, MT-2 and EQ-200 (Parallel, channel A) are in the front of the amp.
the DD-8, RV-6, EQ-200 (parallel, channel B) and RC-10R are in the loop fx.
I'm following the roland structure for NS-2 pedal.

Ah right, in that case your schematic isn't very clear.
If you follow the blue line it says from fx send through NS-2 to dirt pedals and EQ back into the input of the amp.
Have you tried it with nothing in the loop?
Have you tried eliminating each pedal one by one just to see where the noise comes from?
Have you tried a different power supply or daisy chain?

Dirk's steps are what I would recommend as well.

My question would be if the power supply has enough power for all the pedals. The digital effects in the first picture already have a current draw of 660 mA!
