Anyone know if either of these are decent O-Scopes?  Is the sampling rate sufficient?

They are pretty cheap and self contained, but I'm not sure if they would be sufficient for analog pedals.

I wouldn't suggest those personally.

You can find some nice analog scopes on craigslist for the same price or cheaper.

I have a tektronix I got on CL for free and I recently got bought a Rigol 1052E which I really like so far.  The analog is definitely better for looking at audio signals but the Rigol is so much easier to use!

Ya, go analog! I picked up a Tektronix 464 (CRT Storage!) from CL for $56...well then $36 in shipping (ouch), but it originally sold for $5115 in 1975 ($21529.19 inflation adjusted), so I feel I got a deal ;-) And it really adds to the ambiance of the hobby room.

I've had a hard time finding a cheap used one... Just not really sure what I'm
Looking for.. What kind of sampling rates are needed?

Agreed with others. It crap. I use bk precision/Tektronix can be found on ebay 50-150$. Just try and get probes with it. 9 out of 10 don't. You can make your own but they don't come out well

You can get decent probes on amazon.com for cheap.
