Long Cable Runs

I just made a new pedal board, built around my VFS5. I connect the board to my VT-30 using three instrument cables and have bundled these with the cable from the VSF5 to make a mini-snake. My question is this: How much concern should I have about the length of cable that my signal has to pass through?

The first pedal in the chain is a Boss Blues Driver. I know that all Boss pedals are buffered. That should help, IMHO. The signal chain looks like this:

Guitar=>10ft cable=>
Boss BD=>12ft cable=>VT-30=>Loop Mod=>12ft cable=>Volume Pedal=>1ft cable=>Boss EQ=>12ft cable=>VT-30=>Loop Mod line out=>2ft cable=>Radial Pro D.I.=>low impedence cables=>soundman

pretty long cable run. I've never run a guitar signal through a longer one before changing to low impedence for the soundman. I've been practicing using this rig, and it sounds fine at living room volume. Does anyone know if there is buffering built into the VT-30 Loop Mod to help push through all this, or is what's in the Boss pedals enough?

It will work fine.

thanks for the reassurance Retrobob... It sounds good in practice and I've used it at one gig, but I figured someone on this board would know, and that would be probably you or Voxman.
