First, thanks to all who responded on and off list.

So (to get back on topic again), how could I reproduce this sound? Any
hints which fuzz box was used and how the undistorted organ sounded? I
listened to the "Grey and Pink" album once again carefully, and there
might be a hint to answer the second question: on the piece "Winter
Wine" there's a keyboard solo with a sound which could be from a "cheesy
organ", immediately afterwards the solo continues with "that sound".
Maybe he just turned the bypass of the fuzz off?

Remarkable: "That sound" is always played monophonic. But it's often
accompanied by a Hammond playing chords. They didn't use a synthesizer
in 1971, did they?
