Rode Wireless Go II
$184.99first cited October 2026mixed views on it
“I was using this microphone that I use on every single video you ever see me make. It's a Rode Wireless GO II, I think that's what it is. And yeah, it's worked seamlessly for years, but I thought before I go to Synthfest UK, I will just wipe it clean so that it doesn't run out of memory, because I'm going to do lots of recording while I'm there.”

Logic (Logic Pro)
“I've even gone down to some geeky nerdery and listed the maximum LFO rates and the maximum envelope times. I measured those in Logic.”

AJH Synth RadioPhonic
cited in 3 videosspeaks highly of it
“Hi, you might have caught the video I made a couple of weeks ago about the love of sounds and how playing around with the Radiophonic behind me from AJH Synth reminded me of that just getting a drone up, listening to these amazing, amazing sounding oscillators and then just tweaking things here, tweaking things there a little bit on the cutoff, I don't know, little LFO, a little tweak, adding another little bit of noise or something perhaps, and then just just playing around with it and just being absorbed completely overwhelmed really by the sounds that are coming from it.”
