Just to update, I purchased a discounted A3 from American Musical Supply and sat with it late into the wee hours of the morning. Sadly, I was never that impressed with it and didn't find any significant gains or improvement to my passive Baggs pickups that I didn't get with my normal PADI. So, I'll be returning it this week.
I will say that I really liked the potential of the unit but in the end, the tone just didn't do it for me. At my gig Saturday I used both of my guitars into two PADIs and it sounded better, to my ears at least. It was definitely simpler.
