The Premier Model 76 is a standout amplifier from the early 1950s, notable for its innovative two-part design that was ahead of its time. Introduced around 1950-51, this amp features a separate speaker cabinet and power/control section—a design that would later become standard but was quite radical at the time. This setup allowed for versatile onstage configurations, with the ability to orient the controls either inward or outward depending on the stage layout.
 
The Premier 76 boasts a distinctive look with its two-tone brown fabric and brightly colored plastic knobs, embodying the quirky, period-specific aesthetics of its era. This particular Model 76 is a mid-'50s version, featuring a slightly smaller and lighter cabinet introduced to improve portability. Its design includes a clever slant-edged cabinet that locks together for easy transport as a single rectangular unit.
 
In terms of sound, the Premier Model 76 offers a deep, rich tone with a jazzy quality and a very good early tremolo effect. The overall sound is dark and chunky, typical of 1950s Premier amplifiers, and it’s known for its unique and distinctive character.
 
Included with the Premier Model 76 is a Premier Reverb Tank, which adds an extra layer of versatility and depth to your sound. The reverb tank comes with its original footswitch and cover, allowing you to easily engage or disengage the reverb effect during performance. 
 
Overall, the Premier Model 76 is a rare and intriguing example of early amplifier design, appreciated for its distinctive sound and innovative features. It represents a fascinating piece of musical history, particularly for enthusiasts of vintage gear. This amp has been serviced by our technician, and is ready for the stage/studio!
