► Cool Holographic scopes?
The scopes I use aren't real – I use MOscilloscope and MAnalyzer by a company called Melda – they’re free with some limitations in the MFreeFXBundle.

► The 90 degree cables I use are from Tendrils, and the 90-degree TRS adapters were bought on Ali-Express or Amazon, I forget which…
