Yes, you use the 25k pedal after a buffered pedal, regardless of what kind of pickups you're using.
If you had no buffer and passive pickups, then you'd want to use the 250k pedal.

Nice one Beej - within an hour too!
(can someone explain all this to me please?)

25kohm potentiometer is used inside the volume pedal (same with your guitar volume knob), 25k is usually used for active pickups (AKA low impedance signal), 250k/500khohm is used for passive pickups (high impedance).
when you use a booster or use it as a buffer (making the high impedance signal low impedance), you need to use in theory a 25kohm potentiometer (since you now have a low impedance signal), i was just making sure that's the case.
thanks beej

Just j/k ang3lus.
I leave things like this to Beej.
You lost me after 25kohm
I'll stick to UK Government Fiscal Policies - far easier to understand -
strange nobody wants to form a forum on it though
