gary mac Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 It's time for me to replace my vintage multimeter with something up to date and digital. I'm not looking for top of the range as it's not something I use every day. But I do like to buy decent quality that is reliable and user friendly. Recommendations would be much appreciated.

Thunderbird Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Hi Gary have a look on Cpc they have some really great meters in there I got a really nice auto range meter for about £25 and is just as good as as the really expensive ones I have used at work can't link to the site as I'm mobile atm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 I use this one http://www.screwfix.com/p/lap-mas830b-digital-multimeter-600v/75337?kpid=75337&cm_mmc=Google-_-Product%2520Listing%2520Ads-_-Sales%2520Tracking-_-sales%2520tracking%2520url&gclid=CPe169j-ltMCFUVJGQoduIoJuw&gclsrc=aw.ds&dclid=CIurj9n-ltMCFZeEsgodsfcAIw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grangur Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 (edited) I also use a cheap multi-meter. After all, we're not checking anything particularly accurate or critical. It's mostly being used to check continuity, battery life or resistance of pots and me smoothness of their sweep. I just saw CPC do a duratool one for less than £3!! Wow, that is cheap!

Beer of the Bass Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 I picked up one of these recently. [url="http://www.rapidonline.com/uni-t-standard-digital-multimeter-tester-ut39c-85-4077"]http://www.rapidonline.com/uni-t-standard-digital-multimeter-tester-ut39c-85-4077[/url] It probably has more features than you need unless you're into pedal and amp DIY, but for guitar electronics it's useful to be able to measure capacitance, and the hold button is handy too. It's quite chunky feeling and seems sturdy enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JapanAxe Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 I recently upgraded to a Megger AVO210, mainly because I wanted to take bias voltage readings as accurately as possible on my Fender Deluxe clone build: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
