MOTM

I just finished my 490.  This filter ROCKS!
 
I did find the resonance setting a bit too sudden, so I changed R29 to a
68K to have more range for low resonance, as suggested in the assembly
doc.  Fortunately I was able to do this from the top of the PCB without
disassembling the module.

Though it could just be the tuning difference noted below, I like the
sound
of the 490 better.  To me it sounds more "vintage" and "warm".  :)  I
assume
most people will be going for that kind of sound with that filter (I
know I
will).  I hear Wakeman and Emerson, rather than Carlos - which was
perhaps
intended based on Paul's comment about it being close enough for rock,
etc.
(So maybe it does sound a little like a Mini, and not strictly like the
904a
- though I've never owned/played either so I couldn't say.)
