Classic-topology match

Most likely textbook topology: Union of the sub-effect topologies, in name order.

E.g. PEQ+DIST+DELAY = DF-I biquad(s) → waveshaper → delay line; the shape is the concatenation of the named stages.

Instruction hint: each named stage contributes its own idiom (biquad ACT 0x12/13/14, waveshaper class-6 LUT, delay class-1 ESC, LFO cell).

UI parameters (MEASURED, notes/kn5000-dsp-paramlist.md): BAND EMPHASIS FC, BAND EMPHASIS Q, BAND EMPHASIS G, THRESHOLD, RATIO, ATTACK SENS., RELEASE SENS., DRIVE, ADJUST, VOLUME, REV SEND.
