A line driver and custom wah fed a three-way splitter for Santana's stage amplifiers, while a rack delay served the two Bludotone effects loops.

Documented equipment · Source-described order · Split output path

Guitar tech Ed Adair explicitly described the front-end order as 50-foot cable, LD1 line driver, RMC4 wah and three-way splitter. The D-Two is shown after the split only as a separate effects-loop branch; it does not sit in series after every amplifier output. Tuner and remote amp selectors are control infrastructure and are omitted.
