Help with cable lengths from axe fx / fm3 to front of amp !

I'm plugging straight into my axe fx with a 5-8ft cable from my guitar with passive pickups, then taking a 1/4 inch from output 3 to the front of my amp at a distance of 30+ feet. should i be worried about tone loss? My thought is that the outputs from the axe probably provide a high enough signal that I wouldn't have to worry (effectively being a buffer). Maybe im messing up the terminology here but yeah.

Also would i be able to do the same thing with a FM3?

Lmk and thank you guys I'd be lost without you
 
Im not an expert on this topic, but I believe there would be tone loss, because cable is unbalanced. Typically unbalanced cables will start losing signal after about 18 feet.
 
right i would think that, but if I put a buffer pedal it basically gets rid of that problem, my question is do the outputs of the axe and of the FM3 serve as buffer pedals (are they buffered outputs? if that's the right way to say it)
