Indeed. Something historical no doubt, but its before my time. :-)

bipolar supply?
Not in the filters.

I don't know for sure, but perhaps its a stability thing. Neither
circuit is protected for cable capacitance.
Personally, you can replace both op-amps with a decent audio op-amp like
a OP275, or even a TL072.
> Is R32 ("HPF DC") there to cancel out what would be a +3 volt DC bias?
No there is no 3V offset here. The circuit AC coupled with reference to
ground and the outputs are mostly symmetrical about zero. The offset
control is a design feature of this module in that you can set the
output offset of the HPF output from the front panel. Its not needed if
you want standard HPF functionality, simple miss off those bits and
connect the rev log to ground at one end [pin 5].
Rev log pots can be got from Banzai or New Sensor. Most guitar places
have them too - perhaps Small Bear??
