Sooo … what do all the knobs actually do? Are they tone + volume for each pickup for each side of the stereo signal??

I would love to hear the effects all those knobs have on the tone.
The best way to really hear one in popular music is the very end of “over the hills and far away” by Led Zeppelin. The fade out where the guitar lick returns and it’s kind of in reverse- that is this model guitar with the reverse switch on.
That’s an incredible machine, how does it play? So many knobs. I have 10 guitars and I think you still have more knobs and switches than me.
Plays like an electric 12 string. Easy action, not well balanced though.
I got a thing for cool old guitars.
What a great specimen! Any idea how the reverse circuit works, or where I can find some info? I’m pretty sure it has something to do with the repeater (for which I found the schematics), but I can’t find any info specifically the reverse switch.
No clue, I’m a musician I don’t know how anything works.
The 1966 US Vox catalog described the V221 Phantom XII guitar as follows: “Unique Phantom 12-string design; ebony finger board; nickel-silver frets; exclusive 2-way string damper; 6 individual string bridges, true spring action vibrato.” The 1966 US Vox price list indicated that the retail price of the Mark XII guitar was $379.90 USD. Adjusting the 1966 price for inflation, the Phantom XII would retail today for about $2619 USD.
I love a lot of buttons and knobs on my guitars! It just looks cool.
