Is the TS9 buffered?

This is the only difference between the TS9 and the more collectable TS808. While the Maxon OD-9 is true bypass, the input and output buffers are retained. So it has a vintage-correct circuit, but the buffers are only in the signal path when the pedal is switched on.

What is the difference between a TS808 and a TS9?
