A real Leslie is a good start. Many guys like Emerson,
Lord, Liston, Coster used amplifiers in addition to
their leslies for even more bark. A tube preamp for
your leslie will help as well. But there is no
mistaking the sound of the Hammond through those
products when heard side by side with any clone.
