SKB PS-45 Pedal Board and A-B Switch?

So I've been having a major problem with noise and my effects chain.

My setup is currently:

Guitar->Distortion->Compressor->Reverb->Tremolo->Delay->SKB PS-45 Board/Power Conditioner->A-B Switch

I need the A-B Switch so I can switch between the two channels on my Fender Bassman. This seems to be the source of some major noise, especially in the clean channel, surprisingly. When I touch the A-B switch with my hands, the noise goes away. I bought a noise suppressor and put it after the A-B switch going into the clean channel. It helps, but not as much as I had hoped.

My question is: Can I somehow rig my pedal board so that the A-B switch can go into the power conditioner and come out as two separate channels? I'm thinking that I can't, but here's hoping.

And if any of you have any ideas about other alternatives for resolving the noise issue, I'm all ears.....

Thanks!

sounds like your a/b box isn't grounded.

also, maybe a proper channel switch for your amp would be better.

have you checked the cable for the a/b switch?
