Request Blue Collar Man

Looking for a patch or further suggestions for a patch for Styx - Blue collar man. I found a post that it was recorded using an B3+overdriven leslie and a digital delay. Another form post stated: 888708008 with 8/10 distortion + delay. I have not been happy with my results so far.

Any help appreciated.

I know the article references a Digital Delay, but there isn't any obvious delay on the organ at the beginning of the song. Its just power/crunch. I don't have any idea what Dennis is referring to, and I'm guessing the recollection/reference to the digital delay is simply wrong (or rather the settings were simply overdriving the signal and there really wasn't any delay)

Though some would go with all 8s, a while back Hanon_CTS posted a preference for 567888888, no chorus or vibrato, rotary speaker on slow, and drive at 5-6. It would be a good start. The post with mp3 example is HERE.
