In the last 15 seconds of the song I've linked to there's a guitar solo with a super cheesy early 80s tone that I love.

I'm curious what's typical for this sort of sound. I've just recently started trying to take more active/conscious control of tone so my ear for this stuff is weak. I think I hear some flanger, light to mid gain, and a lot of delay, but that's about all I got.

Sounds like they're using a chorus pedal with an old school high-gain amp. Tbh you could probably get that sound with a JCM 800, Soldano, or modded Plexi-type amp or model.
