Crobot’s hard-riffin’, smooth-groovin’ rock anthems often ride on the back of guitarist Chris Bishop’s handiwork. The guitarist carefully corrupts his tone with creative pedal tweaking, but he’s never lost sight of his role within the quartet.
“The groove is the most important thing in the song and, being the only guitar player, my main focus is to make sure that’s there,” explains Bishop to PG in 2016.
And when you’re opening for the party-rocking Steel Panther, no goal can be greater than making the crowd move ’n’ groove. Before Crobot’s set at Nashville’s Marathon Music Works, Bishop welcomed PG’s Chris Kies onstage to detail his trio of guitars-a beloved offset and a pair of P-90-loaded Teles-his parti-colored pedalboard, and the Victory VS100 Super Sheriff and Kemper Profiler that work together to create his massive sound.

Dudes got some fancy footwork.

[@420DamienDarkblade]

That's my bro. When Bishop came down to hangout with us and showed me his pedals, I was blown away and I got one of the Paul Gilbert airplane flanger and man it is fun to play with.

[@radiopools]

I saw Crobot in Cincinnati, and I didn't know anything about them (they were opening for Danzig) and I was absolutely BLOWN AWAY by this dude's playing and his tone. He has had me lusting after an Orange Dual Terror since that night! One day I'll snag one. Sucks to hear his rig got stolen :(

[@factorypilot99]

Dude has next level pick throwing tricks

[@aeroman4life]

One of my favorites. Band is stellar and comprised of the coolest dudes around.

[@dudley3431]

Way to go Chris! So cool seeing your rig rundown. Always loved playing with you guys back in the day. So proud of you guys and looking forward to hearing more from Crobot!

[@21stcenturymetal31]

I’ve bounced for Chris at least 50 times back in the old rock deck days. He’s always been a down to earth showman. Genuine cool dude. Happy for his success he has for sure earn it.

[@sonor72]

I’ve got one of those Vox delays and i always loved putting the feedback up like that, it’s crazy hearing someone else do it loo

[@Burnt_Gerbil]

I’m a Chris. Woop woop! 😆

[@pipesandpolitics1917]

Hey Bish! Awesome work dude.

[@jonnybeck6723]

I've got HB size P-90's in the bridge(s) of my number one Les Paul and my hollow body Ibanez AF55 and brothers and sisters, They are a nice place to live ...yeah when I wanna wail, or feel the need to scream, ...as well as any and all points in betwixt between

[@boblanzillo2144]

agree with the let down when there is no stage volume, luv the guitar in my face

[@kevinkessock4567]

Congrats Bish

[@robertsparling917]

I saw Crobot in Vancouver this past October. They opened for GWAR! I was up front for both Crobot and GWAR, where the latter doused the fans up front with fake blood! I got covered in that blood! At the start of Crobot's set, there was a plant-like dinosaur egg that their singer burst out of!

[@gregmize01]

Good grief this guys tone is killer!

[@SourMashband]

Great stuff! You guys should do one with Dean DeLeo if the opportunity arises.

[@abcdefg9759]

Lets talk about the elephant in the room. That Kemper in the rack.

[@booitsnick]

Love me some Berly guitars

[@RocknJazzer]

nice Judas Priest Screaming for Vengeance shirt 1982

[@stepitupandgo67]

I need the mac sabbath shirt

[@donbuttaccio4464]

Stings DR 10-48, cool. Guitar picks? Opps forgot to ask yet again, C'mon Chris get a check list.

[@theAreaMan]

"....just a traditional Tom Morello sound." So I guess I'm old now.

[@midnite_in_november]

What a odd pedalboard lol
