1958 Premier 76 Multivox Vintage USA - Made Tube Amplifier W/ Jensen Field Coil
Item History & Price
Up for sale, a 1958 Premier model 76 in exceptional condition and in perfect working order. Produced by Multivox-Premier in New York during the golden age of the electric guitar, the 76 model was a revolutionary for its time two-piece suitcase design. This two-channel amp is extremely original and also fully serviced by our techs here at Mike & Mike's Guitar Bar to ensure optimal reliability and tone. Via the original Jensen field coil F12Q speaker, this amp delivers warm, polite c...leans with a bit of spank, but where the amp really thrives is when the Volume and Tone controls are dimed out. The overdrive this amp can deliver is astounding, with huge saturated crunch that barks and spits with the best. The low end stays tight and the distortion is rich and dynamic. As an added bonus, the second channel features a tremolo circuit which goes quickly from subtle to full on square wave chop and cut, stuttering like few tremolo circuits can when you turn up the Intensity knob.
The circuit retains the original transformers and all of the original pots as well, with a true point-to-point wired design. Both the preamp and power amp have been expertly recapped as necessary, leaving original components whenever possible and only swapping components when they ceased to function. The two halves of the amp connect with the original umbilical cable, and the original two-prong power cable is also intact. The Jensen speaker has a flawless deep green frame, original cone, and date code from early 1958.
Cosmetically, the amp is extremely clean, with a polished brass faceplate with immaculate silkscreen graphics and a complete set of original (and colorful) bakelite knobs. The faux woodgrain and mustard covering on the amp is quite a bit more fragile than Fender tolex or even tweed, yet has remained completely intact along with the original black rubber feet and leather handle.
