My go to active preamp DI box is an LR Baggs Parra Acoustic DI, @Mr Bojangles. I've owned and performed with it for a long time. That being said, I own and use two Behringer ADI21's, 1 Behringer GDI21 and one Behringer BDI21 and they all perform great, especially for their price point. The Behringer ADI21 has a Blend control that simulates a tube preamp microphone that brings out that punch that many acoustic electric guitar players desire to get their instrumentals pleasantly through the mix. In addition, a small mixer such as the battery/AC powered Behringer 1002B helps to achive the boost and EQ you desire.
