Hi!
Don´t buy a guitar drive pedal, sounds crap on organs. Well, mostly. I
myself play my old Bx3 through an HK TubeFactor -which is an guitar
effect, but an TUBE effect- into a Leslie (transistor). You need the
Tube somewhere in your chain, at best between organ and Leslie. If you
dont have a leslie, try HK tube Rotosphere, really good thing, and Tube
+ Leslieeffect in one. The overdrive on the Bx can be used to give more
boost, so set it up for a fine grinding sound at 0 overdrive on Bx3, if
you need more, turn Bx3 drive on to taste, the more "volume" makes the
tube growl.
Hope it helped!
