and a good multimeter.

For this one job or the rest of your life?

I don't think that you need to invest in an expensive Fluke if this is
going
to be your one big electronic project for this life.

Looking at fluke
meters... Need to go to 1000 volts DC I guess, which
equals $2-300 dollars. Ouch!

Really? The Fluke 17B does 1,000 volts DC, and runs well under $100.

To which I would add that ultra-accurate DC metering isn't something you
really need for a guitar amp. Back in the day, they were usually calibrated
with a Radio Shack VOM or an Eico VTVM. On (most) guitar amps, if you're
within 10% of the designed voltage, you're fine.

Peace,
Paul
