Thanks!

> You were right, Neil, that's pair of LM4250 in the filter.

There aren't that many programmable op-amps these days, and while they
may be on lifetime buy, guys like this trueno outfit don't worry about
things like that.  A couple of reels would probably be enough for the
lifetime of this little thing.

So they're already operating the op-amps outside of their ratings (min
is spec'ed at +/- 5V).
Unless the circuit is designed with high impedances those poor old
TL074s will struggle to get any more than a couple of volts either
side of 0V.
They could have chosen better op-amps and got more headroom and/or SNR.
