His solidbody and semi-hollow electrics get a 1965 Thomas Organ Cry Baby, an original Zendrive and a Mini Q-Tron; the Chet Atkins SST guitars get a Zendrive 2, an Eventide Rose and a Blackhole. ## Signal chain **Order evidence — Reconstructed.** No source publishes this sequence; the order is reconstructed. The units are evidenced; their sequence is the archive's inference from the convention below, not an observation. Do not report this order as documented. Reconstruction convention: Tuner → Wah and filter → Compressor → Overdrive, distortion and fuzz → Modulation → Delay → Reverb → Amplifier. A documented routing zone always overrides it. | # | Unit | Role | Zone | Unit evidence | Position evidence | Catalog page | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | 1965 Thomas Organ Company Crybaby Wah | Adds the same vocal psychedelic sweep heard in his early electric work to the modern Hot Tuna rig. | Integrated board | Documented | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/1965-thomas-organ-company-crybaby-wah/ | | 2 | Hermida Audio Original Zendrive | Provides touch-sensitive overdrive for Kaukonen's solidbody and semi-hollow electric guitars. | Integrated board | Documented | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/hermida-audio-original-zendrive/ | | 3 | Electro-Harmonix Mini Q-Tron | Adds picking-responsive filter sweeps to Kaukonen's electric-guitar chain. | Integrated board | Documented | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/electro-harmonix-mini-q-tron/ | | 4 | Hermida Audio Original Zendrive 2 | Supplies the dedicated overdrive stage for Kaukonen's Chet Atkins SST electro-acoustic guitars. | External board loop | Documented | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/hermida-audio-original-zendrive-2/ | | 5 | Eventide Rose | Provides modulated and deliberately unpredictable delay textures for the SST chain. | External board loop | Documented | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/eventide-rose/ | | 6 | Eventide Blackhole | Creates large, unconventional ambient spaces after the SST delay. | External board loop | Documented | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/eventide-blackhole/ | ## Reconstruction note Kaukonen's official site divides the six named pedals by guitar family. His 2023 Electric Hot Tuna interview independently confirms the same original 1965 Thomas Organ wah and describes separate overdrive and unpredictable delay choices used only for moments within solos. The official page does not publish cable order or a last-updated date, so this snapshot is dated by access and the displayed sequence follows the site's per-instrument lists without claiming a cable trace. The two groups are alternative instrument chains, not simultaneous branches. ## Questions ### What pedals did Jorma Kaukonen use in 2026? This dated entry lists 6 units: 1965 Thomas Organ Company Crybaby Wah, Hermida Audio Original Zendrive, Electro-Harmonix Mini Q-Tron, Hermida Audio Original Zendrive 2, Eventide Rose, Eventide Blackhole. This is the recorded inventory, not a claim that every connection or model identification is confirmed; see the evidence and routing notes. ### What order were Jorma Kaukonen's pedals in? The complete order is reconstructed, not observed. The layout follows the cited routing constraints and the archive's signal-chain convention where the sources are silent. See the diagram and routing notes for the separate paths and any unconfirmed connections. ### Is this Jorma Kaukonen's full guitar rig? No. This dated entry covers 6 units in the effects path, not every piece of gear Jorma Kaukonen owned or used. Floor pedals, rack units and routing devices are included only where recorded; omitted equipment and uncertain connections are explained in the notes. It is not a complete or current rig inventory. ### When and where was this pedalboard used? Official current gear list, accessed July 2026. Electric Hot Tuna and Jorma touring rig. This is the rig documented for that touring period, not a career-wide gear list. ### How does the archive know what was on this pedalboard? 2 cited sources, listed above with the date each was read, including Jorma Kaukonen Official Website, Grateful Web. Among them an official listing and an interview. The units are recorded as documented equipment, and the page was last audited on 2026-07-18. ## Sources 2 cited sources across 2 independent groups.
