Later Premier Amplifiers

I am not interested in the later Premier amps. I like tube amps and the transistor models hold no appeal. But I have a little infomation about some of them and a couple of pictures.

Here's a list of the models stolen from www.bluebook.com. They only have these later models so you can go to their site and get info on them.

A model G-2R from 1967. No info - I saved the picture because you might be able to see a white knob. It may be a tube amp.

I found another one on eBay. It has reverb and it looks like 7591 tubes.

An Unknown Premier Head. I don't know the model, but the knobs say it must be Premier. There's room for tubes.

In 1967 Premier made a Solid State amp with tremelo called Model 5530. This guy keeps showing up on eBay.

 

Model P-10


Model P50 - I saw this for sale at a Pawn Shop for $19.70, I should have bought it.

Model Bass BB30 - on eBay at about $10.50 ($30 shipping)

Here's a Model 45 type amp off of eBay. It uses 7591 tubes as output. This is really a a model 50 without the premier name and should sound pretty good.

Here is the description off of eBay:

I saw this PA unit on eBay. Multivox Mixer Amplifier, Model Premier Express Four. It is a PA unit in a case. Premier sold this to schools and churches and other organizations as a cheap and convenient way to provide a PA in a small portable and easily stored package. It has 4 channels. Each channel has an input for hi and low. Each channel has a control for Volume, Treble, Bass, and Reverb. There is also a control for Master Gain, and Master Reverb. It also has an analog meter for output. In the back it has line-in, and external speaker, off and on, and reset.

 

 

 

Buy the Book!

I cleaned up my tab for Sonny Boy's Help Me and made it into a short book. There's a Kindle version for 99 cents, and if you buy the paperback you get the Kindle free.
