Notes & Caveats
- No direct studio documentation or official rig rundown for 'Zagreb ima isti pozivni' riff section found.
- Guitar model confirmed via live footage from 1985, but amp and pedal details for the 1981 studio recording are not specified.
- Amp settings and effects are estimated based on typical Yugoslav rock setups of the early 1980s (Marshall-style amps, Les Paul guitars).
- No evidence of pedals or specific effects used in the riff section; no audible modulation or time-based effects in the recording.
- If more detailed studio notes or interviews surface, settings and effects should be updated.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. The riff tone is classic late 70s/early 80s Yugoslav rock: crunchy but not saturated, with forward mids and a warm, punchy low end. Parni Valjak's guitarists favored British-style amps (Marshall/Hiwatt), set for edge-of-breakup/crunch, with moderate reverb and presence for clarity in the mix.
