36 filters??  I love analogue as much as the next guy, but imho, that 
sounds like a job for DSP.

>b) the filter is based on the LM3900 (ack!)

Isn't that what Serge uses in their filters??

>c) The whole thing runs off of +12, no sign of any -12V anywhere.

That makes sense, considering the LM3900 was designed to operate single-sided.

Ack!!  In comparison, the MOTM pcb's look like Faberge Eggs.
