A general guideline would be to insert the buffer between the guitar and first pedal, and no further forward in than the last overdrive pedal. If you use several true bypass pedals, there's a good chance your ensuing signal will weaker as they don't have any effect on incoming signal.

Where should I put my buffer pedal?
In general, placing a buffer before a fuzz pedal will cause the fuzz to sound thin or weak. This is because fuzzes need to see a high impedance signal at the input in order to sound correct. For this reason, it's generally best to place buffers or buffered-bypass pedals after fuzz pedals in your signal chain.
Where does buffered tuner go in pedal chain?
The Main Answer. The tuner pedal should go first in the effect signal chain. This is to allow the cleanest signal into the pedal for viewing the most accurate tuning pitch.
What is the correct order of a signal chain?
Dynamics (compressors), filters (wah), pitch shifters, and Volume pedals typically go at the beginning of the signal chain. Gain based effects such as and overdrive/distortion pedals come next. Modulation effects such as chorus, flangers, phasers typically come next in the chain.
