It has a 1 megaohm input high impedance and ohm output low impedance. This should restore your signal to full strength. It all comes down to listening to your rig. Does your clean tone sound weak through your pedal board compared to going directly into your amp? Then you need to find the right combination of buffers and buffered-bypass pedals to get your signal back to full strength.
This means that they have a buffer that is always on even when the pedal is bypassed. After all you've spent all that time choosing the perfect amp and the perfect guitar to create "your sound". Why waste that effort by losing your true tone to cable runs and pedals? Buffers have a huge price scope, varying from pedals with lots of functions and controls to none at all.
If you simply need a buffer, pick a more affordable model. If you like the idea of an in-built ground loop isolator or multiple ins and outs to run a more complex rig, have a browse for these features.

Buffered pedals, such as all pedals from Boss, have a buffer circuit that's active even when the pedal is bypassed. Note: All buffers are not created equal. Different buffer circuits exist and you may hear a difference in the way they sound. The buffer will minimize the added capacitance tone sucking of whatever pedals and cables come after it. Just because it's true bypass doesn't mean there's no capacitance in the wiring, which can mean tonal change. When bypassed, a pedal could have high internal capacitance or a higher than desirable output impedance, and affect the core tone.
Some of the first effects pedals ever introduced were fuzz pedals, and the legendary Fuzz Face used by Hendrix to great effect quickly comes to mind. Think of it as driving a truck through sand as opposed to a slick highway. It's part of the sound. So, check the input impedance of your fuzz pedals to know for sure if they are 'buffer friendly. If it's any lower than that, you'll want to place your buffer after that pedal.
Keep in mind that the output impedance of the last active pedal in your pedal chain is what's driving the cable running to your amp—even if you have a buffer close to the front of your pedalboard. If you have, say, a Phase 90 pedal which has a rather high-output impedance last in your chain, it will be driving the cable run to your amp and you will likely experience some loss of highs.
To be safe, having a buffer or buffered pedal last in your pedal chain is advisable. Many guitarists use time-based effects from companies like Eventide and Strymon at the end of their pedal chains, and, not surprisingly, many of these pedals have a selectable buffered-bypass or true-bypass mode.
My recommendation is to use buffered bypass mode, which will ensure you can effectively drive the run of cable going from your board to your amp with no loss of tone. Strategically placed buffers or buffered pedals can be the key to preserving a robust and awesome guitar-cable-amp core tone, so careful planning when putting your rig together will go a longway.
