Sounds like a piano with a rhodes layer on top. Add some chorus to the rhodes layer also.

Yes, its basically a Piano and Rhodes Layer. Some Chorus or Detuning will add tonal richness to the timbre.

Thanks but I didnt mean the sound right at the beginning but rather the rhodes sound at 0:25, the one that plays the fast blues riff. Its like a rhodes but with much more dynamics and hiss at the keystroke. It sounds so awesome.

You can get somewhat close on a Stage 2 using the MkI Low Deep sample, but a big part of it is the sweepable mid control in the EQ section, which the Stage EX doesn't have. You could try turning down the bass and mid controls instead, in the hope that it will make the attack sound stick out more, but I have no idea how well that will work.
In addition to quite a bit of chorus, I've also layered it with another EP that is shifted up an octave, at a lower volume.
