You wont be able to get a really serious brickwall with the highshelf, its
only 2nd order IIRC, you could try stacking a load of lowpass filters set
to the same cutoff, but you will get some sreious phase shift I think.

Brickwall filters, by thier very nature tend to have side effects or be
very CPU intensive.
