I recently bought a Way Huge Green Rhino MKII and whilst it has a thing, I find the mid hump not to my liking (seems a bit boxy)and it can become a bit soft when more gain is applied.

I can dial the mid hump out with a separate mxr 10 band eq but was thinking of maybe getting a boost/overdrive with a 3 band eq.

What would you recommend?
The Wampler Triumph looks good bang for the buck.
 
The Mostortion has a very usable 3 band EQ that isn't overly colored (like many AIAB type pedals with 3 band EQs are). Wampler's Mofetta version of it might be worth a look.

You might also look at pedals like the Timmy and Westwood, which have two band EQs, but can get a pretty flat response at certain settings.

Alternatively, an EQD Tone Job > a DOD 250 (or variant / clone).

Here's a great site for seeing the frequency response of various drive pedals btw: https://rhpfelectronics.com/rhpf-el...edals-in-switzerland/rhpf-nerd-lab/tone-maps/
 
I was cooking last night with a boss OS-2, the one that's variable overdrive/distortion, full clockwise it's power metal scooped distortion, full CC it's plain green all mids OD, but between 11 and 3 o'clock there's a really nice variable mid scoop sweep that goes along with whatever distortion blend is happening.

after that it was a hamstead subspace, switchable active bass and treble can do a smile or a frown, always active tone knob. hamstead was an expensive impulse used guitar center find, but it's optimized for low frequency pass through and feels like aviation equipment, with lots of switching, pads, parallel, and boosts built in
