Note: Gain adjusted to 0 for clean tone, No direct source confirms the exact amp or pedal chain for the studio riff section; gear and settings are estimated based on period, genre, and Kasparyan's documented use of Yamaha SG200 and Roland JC-120 in late 1980s Kino recordings., No numeric amp settings found in sources; values estimated from typical Roland JC-120 clean settings for post-punk/new wave., No evidence of pedal use or additional effects for the riff section; chorus effect is likely from the JC-120 amp, not a pedal., No pickup selector details in sources; bridge pickup inferred from tone characteristics., No evidence of live/touring rig for this specific recording; all data refers to studio version., Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Kino's 'Спокойная ночь' riff has a classic 80s Soviet rock crunch—modest gain, balanced mids, and slightly boosted treble for clarity. The bass is warm but not boomy, presence is neutral, and reverb is subtle, reflecting the era's production and Tsoi's typical Lell/Combo amp setups.
