Notes & Caveats
- No direct numeric amp settings found; values estimated based on typical Vox AC-30 settings for classic rock and the described tone.
- Chorus effect is confirmed as part of the band's signature sound and is audible in the riff, but exact pedal settings are not available.
- No evidence of other pedals (overdrive, delay, etc.) used on this specific recording; only chorus is confirmed.
- Pickup position inferred from typical Stratocaster usage for bright, cutting riffs and the audible tone.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. The riff tone on 'Kryzysowa narzeczona' is classic early 80s Polish rock: crunchy but not high gain, with forward mids, balanced bass, and enough treble/presence to cut through the mix. Lady Pank's guitarists typically used Marshall-style amps set for classic rock crunch, with minimal reverb as was standard in Polish rock production of the era.
