Yeah I agree it's handy, just too expensive for what it is...Quote:

guys twisted proved it worked lol. its not the best godly device ever lol its 149 bucks or whatever. it is just a very simple way to set your gains. if you dont like it dont buy it, but dont not buy it just because meade created it...
That's what I was originally meaning. It shows the signal isn't being clipped but there's distortion it picked up. It doesn't pick up clipping it picks up distortion. However that works. Bubba maybe you can elaborate moreQuote:

Also since i'm no technical wizard.... This is what TonyD'Amore said....

I know it's hard to grasp the concept of distortion if there is no clipping. I will try to get some good pictures from my bench, showing the SMD DD-1 in action. For now, check out this picture of a distorted sine wave vs. a clean sine wave. Your little hand-held scope is not going to tell you about this, it may show it on the screen but unless you have robot eyes you aren't going to know what you are looking at. Hell, you have to look closely at those little LCD displays even to see clipping!
Same graph I wanted to post but I'm on phone and that's too much work ha ha. So can I borrow it?Quote:

Ummm looks like a clipped signal to me. If this tests "distortion" what's its point of reference?
Some ppl will buy it just because it sais SMD on it, some people would never buy it for the same reason.
Good **** twisted!
