The old Orban 111 had a crude parametric filter on it that you could
probably do something like that with.

But why not just use a high-pass filter, a reverb unit, and then a
resistive combiner to mix the wet and direct signals?

How high do you need it to be? Shure will sell you a couple different
inline filters that I think are single-order in the 200 Hz range. Just
a capacitor and a resistor in a barrel connector. If you want a different
frequency you may have to make your own.

Two resistors wired in a Y cable. I think Markertek will sell you
such a thing if you don't want to make one. But you can just take a
1/4" phone Y connector and stick a 1K resistor in series with each input.

My bassist is using an active crossover to split the bass preamp feed so the
lows go directly to the power amp and the rest goes through the effects
processor and then to the amp. This requires a biamped bass rig, but it
completely fixes the problem of disappearing low end and makes the effects quite
audible. You can adjust the crossover frequency to maximize the balance.
