[sdiy] What sort of filter is this?

A Baxandall Tone Control Circuit has two knobs, one bass "cut-neutral-boost"
and one "treble-neutral-boost".  If you were to use a dual-gang
potentiometer you could connect it such that at one end you have bass cut &
treble boost, in the middle you have neutral-neutral and at the other end
you have bass boost/treble cut. This would achieve the desired effect but
would boost the other when one was cut, however this might be useful.

Excuse me if I get a few of the terms wrong here, but what sort of
filter is neutral at it's middle position and then a high-pass and
low-pass filter on either end?

The reason I ask is that I'm looking for an analog variable filter to
add in the feedback path of a delay... I'd like to be able to have a
single knob where the centre position is basically unaffected and I
can either cut bass or cut treble. I'm not too sure if I'd want

Maybe I can even go a simple route and do it all passively somehow?
(Maybe with a centre-tapped pot, or dual gang pot?)
