The 485 is another must-have, IMO, particularly in pairs. It does
such a beatiful job on brass-like timbres and they are worth the money
on that strength alone. However, if ever a filter can get evil on
you, the 485 is it - drive it hard and crank the res and it will grind
you into submission. Cool!
