Pedal for harmonica?

I have a good buddy I used to gig with who is a fantastic blues harmonica player. In a recent conversation, he said he would love a pedal to give him a little hair or grease while possibly having some eq options to tame highs and possibly boost bass. What would be a good PPCB option? Some type of mild OD with eq? Was thinking about doing a double with a reverb. He said he used to have a Lone Wolf pedal that he loved. Thanks in advance for any ideas you may have.
 
He currently has a Harp Octave, which he says is ok. He used to have a Harp Attack which he described as sounding" just like a tweed Bassman". Has a little mini-tube apparently.
 
I'd be willing to bet the Harp Octave is a Green Ringer clone.

Yes, the Harp Attack has a sub-mini tube. Anyone recognize the circuit?

A lot of guitar dirt circuits accentuate the mids. I think reasons include
-Some guitar amps such as Fender black panel era have a midscoop in the Bass-Mid-Treble tone stack, so a TS or Klon can fill that back in
-Mids are the frequency range that guitars most prominently fill in a mix, so accentuating Mids helps fill that role.
-Mids on guitar can sound cool
-With dirt, lows get muddy and highs get brittle, so combatting these naturally leads to a mid-focused result.

I don't know if all these apply to harmonica the same way. I think the Timmy would be a good place to start, simple to use the EQ but covers a wide range. Also, the Tommy V3 the hi-gain switch so it'll for sure get him in the right gain range one way or another
