Any Premier reverb users???

I've been thinking about getting one of these reverb units from the 60's.

I know they are used alot by harp guys. I want to use it with my Gretsch and a Pro Jr.

Any body know of anything positive or negative about them?

Premiere Reverb

I had one of the old units for a while. I bought it from Chris Boyd, who used to frequent the old TDP. Besides being a tube reverb, it also had a small amplifier built into the circuit. Not enough juice to use alone, but you could hit the front end of your amp harder if necessary. My complaint: too noisy. I replaced caps and tubes and still the same result. I sold the unit and started using a quick slap delay instead of reverb.

Premier Reverb

I had one also some years ago, it didn't sound as good as a Fender, was noisy etc....
Danelectro made some seperate tube reverb units too, but they sound pretty cheesy.
I'd say if you HAVE to have a tube reverb - get a used Fender Reverb , also have read good things about the Peavey Valverb unit.
If ou go the non tube reverb route there are lots of good options, in fact I'm getting to where I prefer the non spring reverb lately.
