1954 Premier 88
A nice example of a legendary amp, both for guitarists and harp players. Suitcase style with a detachable speaker. Incredibly unique tone controls that work like organ stops, not like normal up/ down bass/treble controls. Each paddle cuts in/out a frequency range. Play only with the very lowest and highest ranges, ice pick highs only - many possibilities not possible on any other amp but the Premier 88 Line. Combine that with a nice tremolo and 35 watts of 6L6 terrific sound pumped through an unusual set of speakers: A Jensen 15″ woofer and two Jensen 3″ tweeters. Dean said “I loved my Les Paul through the Premier 88 -- has that woody tone in spades!” Hard to beat that review.
Erik Gustafson, slow grind, only low mids turned on (white paddles down).
Benny Astro, cool solo.
