In the official demo video titled "Victory V140 The Super Duchess – Official Demo With Chris Buck," published by Victory Amplifiers on YouTube, Chris Buck is shown using the Victory V212VCD 2x12 cabinet. This cabinet, equipped with Celestion G12M-65 Creamback speakers, is known for its compact size and rich, classic tone, making it an excellent choice for pairing with the V40 The Duchess, V40 Deluxe, and V140 The Super Duchess amplifiers. The cabinet's design enhances medium gain sounds with a distinctive 'woody' character and robust, room-filling projection.

"And then it’s into a Blackstar Artist 30—with more pedals than we have time to even begin to mention."

Chris Buck, a guitarist known for his work in rock and blues genres, utilizes the Fender Concert (Rivera Era) amplifier live, alongside a 1967 Fender Super Reverb. This detail is substantiated by a video directly from Chris Buck, titled "Why is nobody talking about this $600 amp? | Friday Fretworks," where he discusses and demonstrates the capabilities of the Fender Concert II, highlighting it as a forgotten gem from the 1980s. This video serves as proof of his use and endorsement of the amplifier in question.

Chris Buck uses the Victory Amplification V40 The Duchess 40-watt Tube Combo Amp during his American tour, as noted by John Bohlinger in a Premier Guitar video titled "Chris Buck's Yamaha Revstar and Double-Tiered Pedalboard." Victory provided Buck with V40 Deluxe combos whenever possible.

In an interview with Premier Guitar, Chris Buck revealed that during his time in Nashville, he used a Fender '65 Deluxe Reverb Reissue in a dual-mono setup alongside the Victory V40. The Deluxe Reverb, which had been modified and loaned by Zach Broyles of Mythos Pedals, featured one channel emulating a Bassman sound and the other offering the classic Deluxe Reverb tone.
