John Cipollina
Cipollina split his stereo-wired guitar by pickup, processing the treble side with twin tape echoes, fuzz, rotary color and fast phase while the bass side carried slower phase and a Blue Box-wah combination.

Musician's April 1984 profile quotes Cipollina's current split-amplifier method and enumerates the processors assigned to each pickup branch. Its wording establishes branch membership and the speed relationship between the two phasers, but not a jack-to-jack order inside either branch; the visual order therefore follows the article's enumeration. Guitar Player independently confirms the stereo pickup split, Standel/Fender amplification and Cipollina's use of echo, Standel rotary modulation, fuzz and Vox wah. The transcribed name "Roland Bi-Phase" and the product Cipollina called a "Module" cannot be matched to a dependable exact chassis, so both remain explicitly unresolved rather than being silently replaced with better-known models.
