If you can find one the Pearl OD-05 from the 80s is a bit of a cult. It has the usual OD and volume controls but also has a requency control and EQ gain, letting you dial in the tone you want pretty accurately.

However a good auto body shop can do this for you faster than I could. Try to get some quotes. Maybe we could work something out if the cost at a a...
