[sdiy] OB-X VCF mods for BP and HP outputs

Thanks, Neil, I'm feeling pretty stupid at the moment! I can *see* that the
OB-X uses the TL082 where the SEM uses 741s. I remember noticing that, and I
had meant to ask if that was the key difference (I don't know anything about
the TL082). I did the work on this late last night, and my brain fade is
obvious. In any case, it's great to have the answer. :-)

Your pin numbers agree with what I had pencilled in on the schematic: Pin 1
is the (existing) LP out and pin 7 is the BP out. You forgot HP, which is
pin 6 of the TL081.

Now, if only those boards would arrive...
