Question: I run a 5 pedal effects setup with my goodrich omni vp, (Pedal steel Guitar 19kohm pickup>>Goodrich 500kohmVP>>TC Elec. MojoMojo>>MXR Duke of Tone>>MXR M234 Analog Chorus >>MXR M300 Analog Reverb>>MXR M169Analog Delay>>Peavey Nashville 112). At room volumes, my tone and sound is as sweet as can be. At concert volumes (cranked) seems as though I lose some attack or push. Cables are GL 3FT AND 6FT. Do I need a buffer at the end of my signal into my amp?

Re: Buffers, before or after effects
At higher volumes the amp probably doesn't have enough power to reproduce the transient that we perceive as attack. The attack portion of the signal will max out well before the sustained portion. The amp also has something that Peavey calls "DDT compression speaker protection". This may also soften the attack a bit.
More power may be the answer you're looking for. Not to play louder, but to catch the attack of a clean sound without hitting the rails.
