Instrumental cover of the song Dogs, from Pink Floyd's legendary 1977 album, Animals. Demonstrating the sound of the Alembic F2-B preamp into a Yamaha RA-200 rotary speaker combo amp, Electric Mistress flanger, and Colorsound Power Boost stacked into a Ram's Head Big Muff. Amps and effects gear used are mentioned in the video. Effect settings are also shown in the video. In these examples the PB is the driver and main distortion generator for the solos. It is set for maximum drive and the muff following it is set with a low sustain. The muff tone stage is really just being used as an EQ to color the distortion from the PB.Here are what my PB and Ram's Head settings would be for a similar sound on a modern EHX Ram's Head Big Muff and a Power Boost clone.

The RA-200 volume and tone pots are all set neutral, at 12:00. The tremolo pot is set for the slowest rotary speed. The F2-B settings are shown in the video.The Telecaster is a 2001 American Series Tele tuned down one whole step to D. String gauges are 0.10, 0.12, 0.16, 0.24, 0.36, 0.44. Mics used are a Cascade Fat Head ribbon mic and an e906 on the RA-200 rotaries and a Sure SM57 and Sennheiser e906 on the Hi-Tone speaker cab.
Here is a clip without the backing track if you are interested in trying to match the guitar tones with your own rig.

David was a master at coming up with unique and magical guitar tones, and Dogs is one of his master works. It is always a fun challenge trying to match David's tones and to figure out how the gear was used to achieve those tones. There is no definitive information on the exact setups David used in the studio or live for Dogs, but experimenting with the same gear can give you an ideas of what he likely used, and that is all I have done here.
My playing in this cover is a mix of the studio recording and various live versions from the 1977 tour, or my attempt anyway. I used the Alembic+RA-200 for the first fast guitar solo and the first dual-guitar harmony solo. I used a blend of the Dawner Prince PULSE (a rotary speaker sim) and PastFX Elastic Mattress (an excellent green Electric Mistress clone) pedals for the second (dry) solo, the second harmony solo, and the second fast solo at the end, just to show how that combo can achieve something with a similar feel as the RA-200, even though it is a very different sound.
There is not much information about the recording sessions or gear used on Dogs, but David said he used a Fender custom Telecaster tuned down to D. This Tele is the same one he used for the 1977 tour, identified as a 1962 Fender Custom Telecaster in Pink Floyd's Their Mortal Remains exhibition book. The neck pickup was replaced with a Strat pickup.
David has also said a few things about Dogs in various interviews over the years:
“I basically wrote all the chords-the main music part of it, and Roger and I wrote some other bits at the end.”
“I played it on a custom Telecaster. I was coming through some Hiwatt amps and a couple of Yamaha rotating speaker cabinets- Leslie-style cabinets that they used to make.“
Referring to the harmony guitar solos, which Roger accidentally erased in the recording studio - “It’s quite nice. I thought it was very clever. Then Roger went and wiped it and I had to recreate it."
Referring to the RA-200 used for Dogs when playing live - “I use two of those on stage, along with the regular amps. That slight Leslie effect made a big difference in the sound.”
And there is this interesting one from a Guitar Player interview in 2009. David was asked if he played a Tele on the Dogs solo. He said "Yes, that’s right. I think it was done using the neck pickup, which I changed to a Strat pickup, because the Tele neck pickups never seem to be quite up to the job. " I don't hear a neck pickup on any of the solos in Dogs.

I will never understand why this album wasn't as big as Dark Side Of The Moon. I appreciate the tremendous effort this was. Well done.
The new mix is a lot more clear than the older one. After so many years waiting for it.
Punk scene at the time ALP was realese.
@@user-nu7xx7pc1d I suppose that could be true, but I have to think it came onto peoples radar and they would make the exception. Who knows. Have a great night/day.
Only reason is that they don’t have a ‘’Money” or a “Time”… the runtimes are a bit long but has always been my favourite Floyd album
Because of the surreal Animal Farm avant garde ness.
At age 13, I stood less than 50' in front of David Gilmour as he played that song live, at Tampa Stadium. Congratulations on doing a fine job on the tone I've chased for the last 46 years.
That must have been awesome. The '88 and '94 concerts I saw were very good, but I wish could have seen Floyd in the '70s, especially that 1977 tour. It's probably my favorite for Gilmour's tones and playing.
@@kitraefantasyart I was at Soldier Feild in Chicago Il. in 1977 and they had a Quadraphonic setup, Two massive stacked speakers on both side of the outdoor stadium and one at the end and the stage, Big Pink Pig with car lights for eyes floating around on wires, We bought some acid from the guys behind us and one of are friends disappeared for the whole show, he said he walked around the whole stadium and climbed one of the tower of speakers until security pulled him down, I was glad my older cousin was able to drive us back home a hour away even though he also took one hit of acid, Good memories !!!
You guys are Dogs.
Tampa and Chi are great venues.
Stood less than 30ft from him in Nyc at a concert on the pier during his second solo album. Even got a good picture of him looking right into my camera. Was a great show.
i almost fear that i’m on that path as well, this solo as a whole is just something that soothes me like nothing else it’s incredible. I continue to chase it and relate it to my ever growing life.
As much as all of David Gilmour’s leads are incredible, I cannot understand why the leads from dogs and indeed the whole Animals album aren’t mentioned and compared to as being as great as e.g. the leads from the Wall, DSOM, WUWH, etc. These leads are just magnificent ! Well done !
Anything after The Wall, to me was meh… it was never the same again.
Doesn't matter. When you know, you know! 😎
This flanger/rotary setup is to die for. And on The Wall 1980-81 tour he'd add two Boss CE-2 on split L/R channels on top of that, the whole thing just went WET like the Pacific Ocean and like super super wide. All that clean headroom and sense of dimension and movement, OMG, that tone was literally massive.
F-yea dude!!! I know what you mean!
Gilmour didnt use an Boss CE-2 in the Wall tour if i recall....
@@earlfloyd4076 Not on the studio album he didn't, but on the tour he added two of them. Both Kit Rae and Gilmourish sources confirm CE-2 use. There is also an image of Dave's Animals pedalboard on Gilmourish, circa 1980-81, with the split signal going into two CE-2 pedals for, quote, "a wider stereo effect".
I've owned 3 rotaries: a Solton combo (rotating drum and static 15"), a Sharma (rotating horns, static 15" and rotating drum), and a Leslie 112 (single drum) but I've never seen anything like the Yamaha RA-200 and it's horizontal mounting. Genius, should have thought of it myself. Always thought "Dogs" had the best rotary tones Gilmour ever got. I know the Fender Vibratone was made specifically for guitar, was the Yamaha also a guitar rotary?
@@IanYoung-ko4ws No, it wasn't. Originally, it was intended for use with Yamaha's *YC* line of transistor organs made in the 1970's. Albeit, RA-200 own amp section was not really suitable for guitars, bit too pristine clean and HI-FI sounding, so David used Alembic F-2B tube preamp in order to drive it (Also can be seen in this cover version of "Dogs" by Kit Rae). Dave's the only guitar player I know, who used RA cabs, I'm not aware of other cases. He also used custom made Doppola speakers on Division Bell tour. There were attempts at Doppola replicas, once by Tolerance Sound in Spain (since discontinued), but currently Dutch company Taurus Electronic Design makes those under DoppleX DX26 name.
Dogs is where David Gilmour showed what an amazing musician and composer he was (in addition to being a PHENOMENAL guitar player, of course!) Love his guitar chops in general. Animals sounds so different from anything he had done up to 1977. Thank you @KitRae for this most beautiful rendition of the almighty DOGS!
My favorite floyd song of all time.
Thank you. Floyd people ALWAYS go to Dark Side of the Moon, but Animals is full of killer tracks!
To this day, I still just space out when ever I hear this song. Great job!
I love how the solos are a mixture of studio and live and the sounds are incredible
You're right. Nice full immersion cover!
One of the best melodic guitar instrumentals of all time.
No one had dared to do this! Thanks for this amazing and hard work
Im a simple man. I see Telecasters, pink floyd and actual dogs in a single video, I hit the like button
Coincidentally, some Pink Floyd, a Telecaster, and a dog (or two), are are a few of the essential ingredients of a happy life :)
One of my favorite songs from my favorite Floyd album that's played by my favorite Muff expert.
Floyds best album
This song resides deep along with so many memories. I love it so much
Good job man! Really very authentic tones, Animals is one of my favorite albums of Pink Floyd althoug are very underrated. Sir Gilmour did one of the most beautiful pieces of his carreer and develop his tones to another level of magic!
Wow, that set a new standard. Where does the dog come in the signal chain
Wherever he wants to. Some of his barking is in the recording.
Love the dog! And the exceptional performance of Kit as well :) Great how he retrieved these 70's sound from modern equipment. Joy to listen to !
Holy crap this is phenomenal
That RA 200 is the most amazing piece of gear...more so than anything else in my opinion. very well played.....VERY WELL. I'm also greatly jealous of your beautiful dog. Congrats.
If these things weren't so complicated, heavy, expensive to produce, and niche, I'd beg for Yamaha to reissue them. But the only people who would really care are the wannabe Gilmours like us lol.
Per me è il più bello e difficile assolo di Zio David 😂❤
unconditional fan of pink floyd that I am. Congratulations for this magnificent performance. excellent👍👍👍
Holy crap you nailed this so perfectly. Love the RA
Wow! Very impressive Kit!
Thanks Bjørn. It seems like forever ago when I first read about about stacking the Power Boost with the Big Muff on your website. I would not have found that sound without you!
Been following both of you since the mid 2000s (when I was a kid in school) So cool to see this interaction. Much respect to both of yas 🙌 thanks for all your work guys 💪
I like the fact that you're not playing it exact but putting a little bit of your twist on it. And showing us the FX is also really helpful.
The dual lead work is spot on. And thank you for revealing lots of little detail i was not aware of. One of my all time favourite tracks. Great work.
There are quite a number of Leslie emulating pedals and even a couple of Fender Vibrasonic ones out there, but the market is really in need of some good RA-200 pedals. Totally unique rotating speaker sound.
My favorite song. Sounds fantastic. Good job 👏
the weyland-yutani shirt goes so damn hard. sick cover
thanks again, brings back some good memories. You've put a real smile on my for sure, didn't happened in a long while.
Holy crap - why did I let this sit in my queue so long before watching? Killer playing and I love all the detail on the setup. Definitely one of my fave albums and songs and you did it serious justice.
It’s been over 10:years since hanging out at the DG Gear forum and you are still killing it! Thanks for documenting your journey over the years!
Tip of the hat to you, sir. Great job on all aspects of this masterclass in tone, technique and timing. Cute dog, too!
Really appreciate you putting this together! My favorite song all time, and in my opinion, the greatest rock guitar song ever. The multiple layering, the mastery of the effects, and the primal sounds in the solos. Great electric and acoustic work all rolled up into one song. Excellent breakdown. Thank you!!!
Beautiful tune elegantly and accurately covered, with a cute dog thrown in. With great alacrity, have watched this many times and, although my kit isn't quite as capable as yours, you have helped me follow and reproduce the solos with more success than anything else previously. Loving your magnificent kit, fx pedals, amps, guitars etc. The RA-200 is a proper whacky piece of hardware, wish I had one. Truly inspirational and very informative. Thank you so much for taking the time to make this and sharing with the world, I really appreciate.
Animals is one of my favorite pink floyd record for sure.
I got to see the Animals tours in NYC on July 3, 1977.....3rd row made me one happy kid.....great show for sure
what a beautiful cover of an amazing song
Wow, the playing, the tones, the production, all sound so good! Also, props for the framed Ren & Stimpy and the Weyland-Yutani shirt.
I love how clean and well executed this sounds. Congrats!
Incredible job! I appreciate the work into producing the live sound.
I think my ears melted
Seriously amazing! Just what I thought I knew everything about Gilmore's tone.. and his gear.. you have certainly humbled me sir and you're playing is far above stellar..
That tone is excellent
This is the best cover. Congratulations
Living the dream. I've been looking to build this rig for so many years.. You've inspired me to start... Love the weyland yutani shirt, thanks man 👽
Praise God for people like you sir. Rock on and keep it goin!
It's just so cool.
Killer cover and impressive gear you got there.
WOW! Everything so beautiful
You dropped this 6 hours ago and my algorithm has already found you. God bless 🎉
I wish I'd had this available to me 35-40 years ago. Gilmour was my favorite player back in the day. I don't play nearly as much anymore.
Loved your work ! And loved your Dog too !!!
I think Animals is one of the best Floyds album. And DOGS solo is a masterpiece !
This was killer from the first chord man. Great work
There is so much micronotes works in this solo, really unique. You did a great job
What a gem, the hope diamond 💎 of pink floyd IMHO, only thing you missed was the pig t-shirt 🐖 😉. I air guitar'd all the way thru with you. I think we all did. So tell me was it not the most amazing experience to finally do it, did you love it and have fun? Thank you Maestro 😊 ❤ cosider this a mans day made perfect!
the solo is insane bro its literally as good as the davids
Great song, great performance, full of details on one of the best Pink Floyd Albums. I can listen to this album for hours and hours. Very good....
My favorite off of Animals. Sick gear, great job 👍🏻
secret weapon for floyd - so cool pal ya nailed it .
gilours most iconic in my opinion... superbe.
Wow. Beautiful.
Saw them in Philly at the Spectrum in the late 70's..animals hanging from the ceiling ,me on LSD , I swear that Pig spoke to me..
This is truly amazing, very well done! Thank you for this!
Those celestial melodic bends. Fuckin' brilliant job, man, congrats.
Amazing work Kit. I also have the Yamaha ra-200. I use an effectrode blackbird set loud and clean in line with it and it improves the tone immensely.
Excelent, correct setup, nice feeling, lovely sound, right fingers Time, congratulations, un abrazo amigo
suono ed esecuzione perfetta . ero convinto che fossi David da giovane
We’ll done! This must have taken some serious dedication and effort. Great playing!
Not ever giving in me ! Love Pink Floyd always played them ! U mate played so good well done and thanks!
Beautiful !
Thanks you so much!! I was waiting this for years! Very well done and this tone is sooooo good 👍🏼
I came for the Dogs cover, and then I realized you have a Weyland-Yutani shirt on lol. Not only do you have great taste in music, but movies as well. Very cool! That RA-200 kicks ass!
"Building Better Worlds".
Well played sir, well played
Great work!! really enjoyed your playing and the tones
the tone is very good
The end solo is from the 1977 Animals tour
Amazing!!! One of my fav songs all time, beautifully done! Loved your improv starting @ about 3:33
Wonderful, Awesome. 🙂👍
Great work Kit! Sounds great and loving the real dog! 🙂👍
I tried to get all three of my dogs in there, but they would not cooperate!
Wow, I've never heard such a perfect cover, excellent work !
That Yamaha rotating speaker is so clutch
Great tone and gear! I'm always learning something new. Thanks for putting this together!
Daaaang. You got some sweet gear! Great vid!
Really really impressive....
Obsessive dedication & passion producing the goods😎👏🏽
Magnificent playing of a fantastic song.
Mesmerizing.
Nicely done.
So good! Thank you!!
This is awesome kit!!
Amazing ! Sensacional !
Awesome job ❤
awesome tones! (specially in the first solo! that was golden).
Amazing!
Just like your web site Kit ,this is absolutely first class
Grandissimo chitarrista, ottima esecuzione e suono
BRAVISSIMO
oh man one of my fav songs from PF, great playing and great gear!!! 🎉
Truly phenomenal stuff, amazing really. Thanks for posting this.
Not seen a video like this before. Glad to have found it. I've never got into pedals, and I've overlooked them because there's too many options for me to know where I should invest my money to begin: on top of that, I know that people use pedals upon pedals... your video is extremely useful in getting a sense of where to begin.
I cannot but keep thanking u more for one of your excellent tips about ehx hotwax pedal available on ur website. The tone settings were absolutely accurate and sounds exactly like tube driver. Now it's my fav gilmour pedal all thanks to your guidance. Thank u once again 😊
Fantastic work here. Thank you. Now it all makes sense.
Very similar to the Oakland '77 concert. Those versions of Dogs and Pigs(Three Different Ones) are the best versions. They're like the equivalent of Pulse's Comfortably Numb.
