How much of what I hear on a song like Superstition is the instrument vs what else the signal goes through?

ICBW but I think "Superstition" is pretty much what a Hohner Clavinet D6 sounds like.
I read that he played that model keyboard because he never learned how to play the guitar. I think he was going for the Jerry Reed "Amos Moses" sound.

I had a keys player in the late '70s who had a Clavinet, Fender Rhodes and an early Yamaha synth. The D6 is a fascinating instrument and very funky in the right hands. He always said Superstition features two Clavinets and I'd agree the sound is pretty much stock as I remember it.
In the early 80s I had another very unusual Hohner product, the Pianet. It was/is a very compact electric piano that has no power supply, just plugs straight into an amp. I used it for practice, but also live in a band, with a swirly Small Stone phaser, to get some decent piano sounds. I know the Pianet has also been used on albums, despite its limitations. The sound is produced by metal tines: hitting a key lifts a sucker away from its tine to create the sound. Ingenious, as is the Clavinet.

Also, isn't there a tele mixed in there, playing some cool stuff to somehow fatten up the sound?
