I have an OD3. It's fun to mess with. Never played a multidrive. Hope this helps a little.

I tried a ODB-3 at a local GC when I was shopping for a fuzz pedal. Although it sounded pretty good in the demo on the GC website, I wasn't all that impressed with it live or I should say it wasn't what I was looking for. I havent tried the EBS pedal although I've heard good things about some of their other stuff.
By the way, have you tried the Bass Big Muff Pi? It's got a bit more of the old school sound but it's beefed up for more bass output. The only drawback is that it's a big sized pedal.

EBS pedals have a great reputation. They're priced considerably higher than most Boss offerings, but I've rarely heard a negative thing about them.

I also own the Boss ODB-3. I think it's a good pedal, but it took me some tweaking to dial in the kind of overdrive I wanted. And it may cost you $100 less than the EBS pedal.
