In fact, it would be fairly trivial to make the property switchable or even a separate pot to control how much pass-band suppression you should experience, as you would simply control how much of the input will be driven to the diff-amp inserted prior to the resonance pot. Full (1:1) amount gives no suppression, while no amount gives full suppression.

If your Moog filter has voltage-controlled resonance using a CA3080 or LM13700 section, you could use the other input of the OTA for the input signal feed and not even need the op-amp. Just a thought.
