I almost purchased a sano amp it was 20 watts 6v6 piwer tubes but the pre amp tubes were going to hard and expensive to get now days so i passed now i kick myself the amp was like new !!
In an interview G.E. Smith once said the amps to look for are the the ones that have an input for accordion. My late father played accordion and bought some sort of pickup for it to play through my Gibson Thor bass amp.
What are the power tube's 6v6 or 6l6 get hold of uncle Doug he's on youtube you can email him last time I checked he knows how to find that sort of info 😊
Great video! I live on Long Island and there were several companies building amps. Earth was here, Estey made Magnatones in the 60's. Sam Ash had branded amps made here by a company I can't remember. There was Universal, also. FYI: Fender had an East Coast Authrorised repair shop that was torn down to build Shea Stadium for the NY Mets. It was very close to the Ampeg facility. Franz, which made pickups for Vega and Guild, were close by in Queens also. It seemed there was one in every little Industrial Center out here. I will look for pictures of artists using Premiere amps...I love searching for that stuff!

Thanks a lot! Never heard of this brand but looks and sounds so cool. Such "historic lesson" are invaluable.

Those reverb units have a great overdrive tone when cranked, Duane Allman used one a lot.

Cool stuff!!!
I dig the ones with Franz pickups. If anyone ever runs across a Scroll or Bantam model with the gold pickups let me know :)
My early 58 scroll doesn't live my hands without a murder

Didn't Link Wray record Rumble on a Premier amp?
I've read it was a magntone amp but who knows ?😊
Amazing. I'd absolutely never heard of this brand.
Recently acquired a “Premier 35” was curious if that’s included in the catalog. I can’t find any information on this specific model.
