Filter 2 morph parked in band-pass territory — a hollow orb that breathes with LFO 2 on morph.

Why it works
Filter 1 ladder models are great for bass; Filter 2 morph is the fast path to notch and band-pass colours without menu diving.
LFO 2 is pre-wired to the amp, but the matrix can also target Filter 2 morph for timbral motion separate from volume.
