Default How did they create that sound on "Mercy Mercy Me"?

The other problem is my plate reverb isn't a plate, but is a Behringer
V- Verb Pro (a.k.a. REV2496) plate. Tried it through a Lexicon "plate",
but that was really bright.

Or someone could have been playing something live during the mix. That
would have been easier than trying to isolate the single hit from the
track. Who knows?


The 'ping' sound was made by heavily eqing the reverb return.
Put a band pass after the reverb, preferably a steep synth filter type.
It doesn't really matter too much what the played sound source is.


Did you have in mind any analogue EQs of the time that are capable of what
you describe?


That album was what, 1970?

If I had to do it today I'd use an Orban 622 which was a few years later.

When did the ITI come out?
