Worth knowing

No explicit source confirms the exact guitar model for the solo, but Yamaha SG2000 is strongly associated with Kasparyan in this era.
Amp model (Marshall JCM800 2203) confirmed for live use in 1990, likely used in studio for 1989 album.
No direct source for amp knob settings; values estimated based on typical Marshall JCM800 settings for 1980s Russian rock and forum advice.
Delay pedal model (Boss DD-2) confirmed as used by Kasparyan, but not explicitly tied to this song; included due to clear audible delay in solo.
No evidence of additional modulation effects (chorus, flanger, phaser) in the solo section.
Pickup selector inferred from typical solo tone and genre; not explicitly confirmed.
Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. The solo tone on 'Спокойная ночь' is classic 80s Soviet rock: moderate gain with a crunchy, slightly compressed character, forward mids, and balanced bass/treble. Kino's guitarist often used Soviet amps (like the Elektronika or Lell) set for clarity and presence, with subtle spring reverb from the amp or studio. The tone is neither scooped nor overly bright, fitting the post-punk/new wave style.
