A premixer for a combustor system has a venturi-type mixing tube with a flow axis, an inlet adjacent one axial mixing tube end, and a nozzle assembly at the opposite axial mixing tube end. The mixing tube inlet is flow connected to a source of compressed air and a source of fuel, and the mixing tube is connected to combustion chamber, an annular or can-type liner and an inlet, and the nozzle assembly extends into the combustion chamber and has at least one port for distributing the fuel/air mixture within a single stage combustion zone. In a preferred configuration, a pair of premixers are located at diametrically opposed positions on an annular combustion chamber, and the venturi axes are both radially disposed and axially inclined with respect to the combustion chamber axis. A single, centrally located, cylindrical air valve controls compressed air flow to both premixers through a manifold and distribution conduits.
