Are you plugging the amp and the pedal power supply into the same electrical outlet? A ground loop can cause the problem you are having. My rule of thumb for sound reproduction is that every part of the signal chain gets plugged into the same electrical outlet.
As far as a pedal board goes, Pedaltrain makes nice stuff. I like my Novo for my small rig. I opted for the hard road case. After having two out of two zippers fail on the soft bag models, I've come to the "cry once buy once" philosophy with gear.
