I think I can clear this one up... I did a search on google for the thing and there's a guitar delay pedal that uses basically the same filter layout, but it ends up being a third passive pole tacked onto the front end of a two pole Sallen-Key bjt filter.

This is fairly feasable to do for a fixed frequency thing like the organ/tone-wheel thing.

Can you describe this a little more? Is it as simple and space-effective as the transistor one?
