especially in a recording situation, the ODB shouldn't have been a problem. Many professionals use the ODB-3 in the studio fine.
personally, I use the Bass Big Muff and don't get lost. It all depends on your music, I had to change my settings substantially when I joined my new band. you can dial in the settings to give a little volume boost to make up for the mids.
I've also heard alot about the Digitech Bad Monkey (or modded Badder Monkey) and seems like a very good tubescreamer distortion for bass.
