Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Are you using digitech pedals!? Because cheap pedals do that!.
Change the line up of the pedals put the phase first and the wah last!. Cables do make a difference but sounds like its a pedal!.!. You should plug one pedal in at a time guitar pedal amp for each pedal!. This will narrow down the problem pedal if any!.
I would say pick ups but you say its quite when there is no pedals!. Good LuckWww@QuestionHome@Com

Distortion and Fuzz are redundant!. Take one box out at a time, along with either the input or output connector!. When the buzz stops it should either be that box or that cable (I'm betting on the distortion/fuzz redundancy)!. Switch that cable with one still in the system and that'll tell you if it's the cable or box!.
BTW: I'd run the sequence Wah>Phase>Distortion/Fuzz>Amp, FYI!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

it's probably gonna be the cables!. if it's not the cables then the connection(s) on your pedals might be badWww@QuestionHome@Com
