Oscilloscope question

My $25 oscilloscope died while I was debugging MDMA. I went ahead and ordered another since it was only $25 and I want to get this pedal working. But I have been thinking of getting a two channel and would like one heavy enough that the power supply cable won't keep dragging it off the workbench.

Does anyone have any suggestions in the under $300 or so range that they have used and recommend.

Here is what I have :

32
 

I have this one along with my 2 Analog. I purchase one analog from craiglist for 50.00 and won another from Goodwill auction and that came out to 55 with a signal generator.


 
Thanks! My new $25 o-scope came in dead on arrival so I am going to order one of these. The Hantek DSO5072P come with probes and is a little bit cheaper. Is there something you noticed from using them that would make me choose one of the others over this one?

Thanks again!

You can upgrade DSO5072P if you're willing to chance it :)



 
I might have to get one of these... My old trusty Sencore SC61 has finally died after 20+ years of good service.

I was getting ready to buy a frequency counter for an upcoming project, but this could kill two birds.
 

Hello, I am looking for an Oscilloscope. I had on when I was in school -1987. World has changed.

I saw you ~($300) LabNation SmartScope USB Oscilloscope & DSO5072P ($250.00)

May I get away with this one?

or do I really need more. How close to specification to I need to stay? Pedals are my only usage. Looking second hand- craigs list too. Way under $100 if possible. Your thoughts???

Specs are not great, but adequate for audio.
I hope you have good eyesight because that screen is tiny.
Unless your computer has a serial port, you'll need some kind of adapter to export the data.

For $50 it's probably worth the gamble. A decent probe costs $50.

I picked up the Hantek DS05102P ($250.00). It will do what I need it to do, but then again as long as it shows wavey, square, and other lines I'm happy and about the extent of my knowledge of how to use the thing.
 
Hi guys.

I want one oscilloscope to work with pedals and amps. Also I would like to do real time analysis to the Signal.

Some recomendation?

Thanks everyone!!!
 
You budget? I would also keep in mind that you might want something just over "basic" because once you start using the scope you might end up troubling shooting more than just pedals and amps. :)

Under 300.00

https://www.amazon.com/Hantek-DSO2C...rds=hantek+oscilloscope&qid=1623888019&sr=8-8 Has a Wave Gen

https://www.amazon.com/Hantek-DSO51...rds=hantek+oscilloscope&qid=1623888116&sr=8-9 This is the one I have

I also have this one

Siglent and Rigol make some good scopes over 300.00. I haven't tried any of the handhelds, but I'm pretty sure someone here can chime in on those.
 

This is the C10 Model, but he said there isn't a wave gen on this model. It does look like it has one though.

I have this Signal Generator at the time getting a new scope and this was a little less expensive of getting a built in wave. Of course once I purchased my stuff Hantek releases these models :)
