They've got more knobs and switches than most Mesa-Boogies!

You beat me to the submit button my friend!

All those knobs & toggles.  If there ever was such a thing it looks like a 12 string from Mesa.  Just a little diamond plate and its a masterpiece from our friends in Petaluma.  I wish they'd go back to the tough as nails vinyl or tolex or covering they used to use.  It exudes what Mesa is.  Cheers!

Does anyone know what all those controls do? 

[Steve Haynie]

Each string set had its own EQ section.  They may have had separate outputs, too.

They power the Flux Capacitor.  Once you hit 246.88 Hz, the thing just launches into another dimension.

I'm willing to wager there isn't much there which improves the sound vs. a good old volume & tone knob.
It's  like my old Rich Bich: coil cuts, preamps, vari-a-tone, phase switch.
Every setting brighter and more obnoxious than the last.

Unless the circuitry is active, almost all such things serve as treble cuts.

I don't recall. I just know that the sound just kept getting brighter and brighter.
Eventually all of the glass in the house was broken and I had to sell the guitar.
The solid maple body and neck couldn't have helped.

Literally impossible to cram any oven knobs into those control cavities, but if anyone can do it, @BadgerDavecan!

Would love to see a wiring diagram of one of those things.
