My son is going to need a multimeter for a science project which I thought would be handy for guitar-related tom foolery. Actually, he only needs a volt meter, but I figured that if we're going to spend money, we might as well get something useful long-term. Any of you hard-core electronics guys have any suggestions of features to look for, brands to seek or avoid? I'd prefer to spend as little as possible while still getting a decent meter. I'd mainly use it for guitar wiring, pedal troubleshooting, etc.

By the by, is the pronunciation supposed to be "mul TIM met uhr" or "MUL tea meat uhr"?
