You didn't mention whether you want to use this harp extensively or in a 
limited sense.
(or if you did, I wasn't paying attention.)
If you just want this for some limited usage, you might try a pedal 
device that adds a *lower octave* to what you are playing.There are 
quite a few out there. Danelectro has a fairly inexpensive one that, if 
I'm not mistaken, is called "Chili Dog". They also have one that adds an 
upper octave but that's not always a pleasant sound on harmonica. I 
think that one is called "French Toast".
I'm not positive about those names. Or, you might try a multi-effects 
pedal, though they can tend to get a bit pricey, especially if you are 
only interested in one or two effects.
Just like spice in a meal, these have to be used sparingly or they lose 
their desired effect.
