A8: The raw V3 or V5 + Spin II is close, but not a perfect copy. You can make improvements, however. Here is an MP3 recording of my (former) V3, using an Alesis Quadraverb 2 for the (C3) chorus-vibrato and reverb, pumped through a Leslie 251 with a hybrid tube/MOSFET amplifier chain. The biggest improvement comes from using a real Leslie, with the improved vibrato as the icing on the cake.
