In this November '96 interview he was asked: At one time you were playing with an Ampeg Scrambler?
Yes, my favorite fuzztone. I still have one.
Then the journalist asked him: That was on Baxter’s?
Yeah, it started on Baxter’s, and I used that until I quit playing with the Airplane.
It's kinda weird since the Ampeg Scrambler was introduced in early 1969. Anyway, Jorma knows the thing as he used it, maybe it was something else before '69, but then that was the Ampeg fuzz pedal.
In his autobiography "Been So Long: My Life and Music" he states: "The high-singing electric guitar lines are my Gibson ES-345 Stereo with the neck pickup through an Ampeg Scrambler into two Fender Twins. The bridge pickup was run through an original Thomas Organ Cry Baby Wah, also through two Twins". Regarding tone on Jefferson Airplane subsequent albums.
He also mentions that in the aforecited interview.
The front pickup was the wah-wah channel, and the neck pickup was the fuzztone channel.
