Anthony posted this photo on Instagram of his Walrus pedals. "Walrus Audio probably the best sounding pedals I've had in a long time. They're also gorgeous looking."
In this article from Ableton's official site Anthony is quoted from an interview with PopMatters“I love (Ableton Live) and I’m really convinced it’s the best thing that happened to music in ten years,” he said. “It’s so easy to be creative with it, really inspiring”.
In this interview with the Emusician magazine, the interviewer states this: "Gonzalez's keyboard setup hasn't changed since Dead Cities, and he still uses his favorite Film Octaves string patch sounds from his Roland JX-305 synth."

In this promotional article from Elektron's official site, Anthony describes why he loves the Elektron Machinedrum - "Rhythm is very important to my music but different songs require different approaches. Some songs sound better with real drums only, other ones need electronic sounds only and sometimes a combination of the Machinedrum and a real drummer is the best option. I usually play the Machinedrum in real time, tapping the trig keys, and then sequence sounds on top of that rhythm. The EFM machines are my favorites. They have such a clear sound."
In this video, Anthony Gonzalez from M83 can be seen jamming with the MicroBrute/MiniBrute in his Hollywood studio. From Arturia's website, Anthony Gonzalez says:
"It is actually the best thing on earth for travelers. I spend a lot of time on the road and being able to record anytime with a beautiful sounding analogue synth is just priceless"
