My wife got me the 734, but in the same metallic red. I just got the one with the active preamp. That color is gorgeous, wait till you see it in person. Pictures donāt do it justice and if you play in a room without windows, take it out to where you can see it with natural light hitting it. The fretboards are the same rosewood as well and they feel so good under the fingers. If you like yours even half as much as I do mine, youāll love it.

I had one. It was nice because it could run on a battery and had a headphone output, making it perfect for practicing on the go. The overdrive feature was a bit underwhelming, but the clean tone sounded decent.
Iām pretty sure the SGT sounds a lot better, but I like the Ampeg tone.
Looking at your pedalboard, you could also add an overdrive/distortion pedal, which can double as a preamp if you want to shape your tone. If youāre already running it into another amp, that approach makes more sense. An EQ pedal might also be a good option.
Adding a small amp/cab sim pedal at the end of your chain is also an idea. Or a second Helix one

I had to put my trip across the metro area on hold. We had a nasty ice storm overnight, and Iām not driving 40 miles through that for a guitar. A BB1200 possibly, but not for a guitar.

Speaking of which: this one is even āworseā

Ah, waitā¦ I re-read (or, actually re-loaded the page) as I was about to ask himā¦ Now, it says āpre order depositā So, itās the deposit he is asking for here, and the total price is given as ā¬4890
I donāt know if itās him or Reverb that though having a 62% price drop sign there would be a smart idea
