I got a Crybaby classic, I've it tryed with different distortion pedals (Rat, Shredmaster, Radial London Bones, MXR classic 108 fuzz).
When I use it with regular switch pedals (Shredmaster, Rat, MXR 108 with buffer switch off) it works properly and sound good as expected.
But if I use Radial London Bones (which is buffered) or I turn buffer switch on MXR 108, the sweep sound innatural, liquid, quite digital, and expecially when the wah pedal is up (highs cutted) the sound got a volume drop.
The problem is my set up need crybaby classic + radial london bones, this bad interaction with buffer will not come with other brand wah (only other I like are Vox V847 or Clyde standard), or is tipical?
Changing London Bones with Plexitube or Hot British (which got a normal true bypass switch) may will solve, anyone tryed these matches?

At first always wah, I even tryed after, but no overdrive or distortion can give me the right sound in that place.
I mostly play in Slash style...

And save money for a Marshall tube amp, especially if you want a Slash type tone.
