Chris Buck Rig Reveal!

This week, Guitar World's Paul Riario sits down with Cardinal Black guitarist Chris Buck (and his Yamaha Revstar) to talk favorite pedals, finding the guitars that speak to him and the baggage that comes with, um, some of them. For more about Cardinal Black, check out the December 2025 issue of GW with GN'R on the cover. BTW, the band's new album, Midnight at the Valencia, is out now. 0:00 Intro 1:26 Getting discovered 3:02 Influences 5:45 What to look for in a guitar 13:10 Yamaha Revstar 19:55 Pedals 35:28 Amps 37:08 On Tour 41:14 Words of encouragement #chrisbuck #cardinalblack #yamaharevstar
