Albert Johnson seems to have been a man of vision for the future. As we all do, he needed to make a living and
likley did not forsee the day when his musical amplifiers would be sought out and collected by a few who appreciate good things
from the past.
The original "Johnson Amp" builder! In the 1950's Albert Johnson ran the Palladium Dance Hall in Brandon Manitoba. He
also manufactured his own Tube Amp line (Johnson) on Hammond Chassis'. They were fairly light duty pieces in those years.
Later he added to his line of goods with the "Wizzer"or Zizzer?, his rendition of a distortion effect unit. The Wizzer is
capable of some creative sounds. Johnson Amps figure into the creative genius that was available in the post war years
here in Canada. Albert used some 50's Celestion Alnicos that were specially designed for his purposes.

Here are a few pictures of some Johnson Amps.
Albert started in 1949 at Brandon Manitoba. He was a bit of an
entrepeneur I am told and was quite charismatic (people liked him). Not a bad thing when one is trying to make a living.
