BASF 468 & Ampex (Quantegy) 456

[_DK]

Hi all!
Could anyone tell me if both of these tapes have the same EQ and BIAS? That is, can I use Basf 468 on Fostex 80 machine, or were those made for Nagra recorders only?
Thanks!

Slightly different bias but in practice people use it interchangeably with 456. See 468 thread started by cjacek on this page.
