Does my wah need a buffer?

hey folks
I am getting together everything to build a simple fuzz face.  Right now I run a '76 Dynacomp > Area 51 wah > TS808 > Muff clone > .... and the rest of my chain.  I am thinking that I will probably put the FF either in place of the Muff or if using both after the muff.  My question is do I need to build an output buffer into my wah?  Now I have read about how FF's do not like being after a wah, but is that just directly after?  Would the TS cancel the effects of the wah buffer/ be redundent?  Any thoughts would be great.  Thanks

The fuzz face probably won't like being there unless you look up a circuit called a 'pickup simulator' that includes an inductor. Fuzz Faces typically prefer to be first in the chain (for the 'traditional' sounds/uses anyway)
