Stick it in a loop.
A buffer afterwards would do no good, but one before will.

If it’s True Tone suck, a buffer *may* help but if some of the frequency response just isn’t passing through, it won’t change things, in my experience. I don’t know the pedal involved so can’t comment but I’ve found that the only way with some pedals is switching them in and out of a loop (example original release Ibanez Sonic Distortion).
However you go down the rabbithole of true bypass mixed with long cables.so you might need a buffer, but subjective opinion alert not a boss one.
With any problem solving, you need to change one thing at a time, change it back etc. Try to borrow a loop pedal, shudder a boss pedal and see what works without buying anything. Oh short decent cables are your friend patch included.
The reason I would use a buffered pedal and not a loop switcher is because you then get another useful effect! Instead of an otherwise useless extra box...

You just wrote half as much .
That is true. The vast majority will be fixed with a buffer in front though.

Buying a loop switcher if it isn’t really necessary also puts you out of pocket .

Thanks for all the replies chaps :-)
I have a Boss pedal, so I'll give that a crack later on today and report back, in the hope that it doesn't start too much grief on here ;-)

Cheers for all the input as always. Now, back to my Chorus search... :-)

I said maybe.....
Not to be confused with audio loopers like the boss loop stations etc.
Or for a little more (£10 or so) buy a used sd or ds 1 or something.
This.
I have a TC Bonafide which works well. Vernon Reid uses one .. check out his pedal board from Hell.
