Oscilloscope

[Mechanic]

When I installed my first amplifier back in high school, I thought the level (or gain) knob was like a volume control, after all it did get louder the more you turn it up. Anyhoot, 25 years later... I just picked up new speakers and bumped up the subs a little more and figured i'd try tuning my amps the correct way, which meant I needed an oscilloscope.

The SMD DD-1 Distortion Detector/Analyzer by Steve Meade Designs looked pretty dandy, but it didn't fit my budget since I was tuning only two amps and the Rockford Fosgate DIY Distortion Meter was another option, but the human element still played a part of determining what is a "raspy" tone, then I thought about my Snap-On lab scope and tumbled into this forum.

Specifically:

lol a mechanic i work with was tellin me how sweet his DMM he got was from snapon, said it was 800 or something ... and then he said yea... its even an oscope... I look it , and there were no settings at all that showed it had that capability. laughed in his face after that.

From THIS closed thread

Attached are some shots I took tuning my PBR300x4, T1000-1bdCP, and LC2i using my Snap-On MODIS
