I suggest 400 and 1.2 kHz as the rolloff points, 12 dB/octave.
McDSP F2 is a resonant HFP/LFP that can help you tune in the distance, I use it in parallel with compressors all the time.
this was along the lines of what i was thinking as well.. narrow the bandwidth before you run into your effects, you could even mix the original with the filtered version to vary the intensity.

good luck
