Hd500x Popping Noises Using 4cm

I am experiencing random popping sounds when using the four-cable method through my rig. This 'digital matter' becomes more audible the longer I have my amp on and does not dissipate when the master volumes on both my amp and POD are turned down. Though the background is less present when I play with a clean preset, it's always there. 

 

Here's my rig:

 

Schecter Hellraiser

Peavey XXX head

ValveKing 412 cab

Shure PG-14 wireless guitar system

HD500x Rhythm Preset reading from left to right: Noise gate (20%~) -> Screamer -> ENGL Fireball (no cab) -> TubeScreamer -> Spring Reverb (clicked off) -> DigiDelay (clicked off) -> Smart Harmony (clicked off)

 

I have tried the following:

- changed out cables

- playing without wireless

- plugged amp and POD through a power conditioner

- using only two cables running into my guitar and into the input of the amp

- eliminating ALL effects except for the amp model and adding effects one by one

- turning the noise gate threshold up OR adding more gates with lower thresholds **this helped, however, the notes do not sustain and die off unnaturally**

- playing through a completely different rig and guitar (Telecaster)

- plugging my rig into an outlet in a different room in the house

 

Line6 said it may be a grounding issue (loose chassis) but I'm not covered to mail it into them so I'm hoping I can get some advice before I make the next move.
