Passive piezo: AD-3 or other alternative?

My Parker Nitefly has passive piezo's, putting out a very weak signal:

 

EQ'ing it in the board gives good results, but I need a preamp to eleminate noise and to be able to drive the DI i'm using...

 

I know BOSS's AD-5 is a acoustic piezo preamp (w/ chorus and 'verb), but I can get my hands on a 2nd hand AD-3

 

The AD-3 is stated as "acoustic processor", does this mean that it isn't suited as a preamp??

 

Plus, what do you think of the Behringer ADI21, or Tech21's para-acoustic DI-RIPOFF.. ?

 

Thanks for you time!

The AD-3 is a very good little box for the money. Certainly more user friendly than the AD-5 or AD-8. All you need are 'top' and 'bottom' adjustments. Nice reverb and stereo chorus. auto feedback killer is a bonus, but not that you'll preally need it.

 

The only acoustic processor I've found that is better, is the (now discontinued) Yamaha AG-Stomp.
