The Vox Phantom XII had stereo electronics - using a special cable which connected to two amplifiers simultaneously to allow Psychedelic panning and switching effects.  Each of the three pickups was split into two coils, one for the bass strings and one for the trebles. The bass coils and treble coils were split into two circuits each with its own output. Each of the six pickup coils had its own volume and tone control - giving a total of 12 rotary controls! In addition there was also phase switches for the pickups
