New Guitar Amplifier - Suggestions?
My Setup currently is an Epiphone Dot running into many diffrent pedals and into a 15 Watt Vox Valveatronix amplifier.
Personally I have grown to dislike my amp, its too computerized, I want something basic.
Im hoping for a combo or stack not to exceed 800$.
Preferably somthing along the lines of how an Orange amp is set-up...
All tube, no computer parts...
I want a simple input with gain, mid low high, yada yada, no added effects essisary.
I don't like Fender, love Orange and Mesa, not a huge fan of marshall, but they are nice in some ocassions.
I've been looking for somthing better, but nothing jumps out at me, and the few amps I do "like" are WAY to expensive for my lifestyle...
any suggestions?

Singer 201 - the Best Sewing Machine Ever Made
During the "glory" days of Singer Sewing Machines, Singer produced the model 201 from the 1930's to at least the 1950's. It was their finest (and highest priced) machine. Thousands of these machines were produced -- and most of them are still sewing as finely and strongly today as they did when first produced.
Research the Singer 201 and you'll find more than one reference stating that the 201 is the finest sewing machine Singer ever made. While I can't authoritatively say the same (I haven't tried all the machines Singer ever made!), I haven't found anything about the 201 that would make me disagree with that statement.
I really appreciate fine mechanical and electronic devices. I like old Hammond clocks and organs, tube amplifiers and vintage guitars, vintage sports cars, gizmos and gadgets like that. About 10 years ago (in a fit of mid-life crisis) I bought a used Porsche 944. When I sit down at the Singer 201 and press the foot pedal, I get a very similar feeling to that experienced when cruising down the highway in the Porsche at a way-too-fast speed -- the smooth and comfortable feeling of machinery performing perfectly.
I compare it to a Porsche -- and I've seen others compare it to driving a Ferrari!
Singer produced at least four different versions of the 201:
201-1 - Treadle version
201-2 - Potted motor and gear-driven
201-3 - External motor and belt-driven
201-4 - Hand-crank (original factory, not later conversion)
The 201 is a sturdy and heavy machine -- not a portable at all! This is not a slim and sexy sports car -- it's a full-sized, classy and luxurious grand touring sedan! It's built to last -- but does need maintenance to perform its best. You'll need to oil it regularly and also grease the gears from time to time. You can unscrew the circular silver plate on the backside of the machine to reveal the gears and the greasing points. Use regular Singer Sewing Machine gear grease (not oil!). Use sewing machine oil only at the recommended oiling points. This rotary hook machine uses a Class 66 bobbin (means very little vibration, great stitch quality, and easily found bobbins.)
The machine is easy to thread and easy to use. The fact that some of these machines are going on 80 years old and still outsewing modern machines is a telling point -- they'll probably last at least another 80 years! Maintain them well and they'll keep sewing -- well, longer than you or I probably will!
One reason the machine is so easy to use is that it is a straight stitch only machine. A single stitch ... but a beautiful and perfect straight stitch! You won't find yourself "fighting" the 201 like you might battle with low end plastic machines -- less time fighting means less time fixing and redoing problems and less frustration!
Even though the machine is straight stitch only, Singer and other vendors made a host of attachments that offer a world of possibilities -- free-form embroidery, buttonholes, zig-zag, blindhemming -- pretty much anything you want from a quality sewing machine is easily achievable.
Best of all, prices tend to be really low (supply and demand -- Singer made zillions of these machines!). You'll often pay way less than you would for a plastic import that may die a deserved death after a few weeks or months of sporadic sewing -- and you'll gain a lifelong sewing servant.
How should you view the Singer 201? Well, think back on the Porsche/Ferrari analogy -- except lower the price to less than $100! This machine purrs like the well-crafted piece of machinery it is. It feels "quality:, if you know what I mean. This machine will definitely be in your "keeper" list.
Curious -- check out the Singer 201 in action!
