Emily Haines' Gear
"The Pro-One is one of those instruments, they're like a woman. You can't understand them, there's like 1,000 knobs, and it cries every time you touch it," she said as the temperamental Pro-One faltered on a song."
"I'm proud to be a girl! And I'm proud to play an instrument that behaves like an [effing] woman every show!" - Emily Haines
Then after ordering the audience to tell the Pro-One they loved it, in unison, Metric launched into "Poster of a Girl."
at 57:12 we can see Emily is playing a vintange 1966 Fender Jaguar. While this guitar could also belong to the guitarist in her band, Jimmy Shaw, it is worth nothing she plays this guitar live regularly in many Metric performances, including the songs "Otherside" and "Gold Guns Girls."
Emily Haines of Metric performs at the 2nd weekend of the 2013 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival at the Empire Polo Club, in Indio, Calif., Friday, April 19, 2013 with this microphone.
In this photo posted to instagram, we can infer from the description that it is being used by Emily on the latest Metric works. While this unit is most likely the same one as owned by James Shaw, also of the band Metric, it is worth noting this instrument was a part of previous work on albums such as "Pagans in Vegas."
At 0:16, we can see Emily using an MP9000 in the early days of Metric.

In a photo of Emily included in Metric’s email newsletter, she is seen sitting at a piano in front of a Shure SM7B microphone.
In the live performance of Metric's song "Gold Guns Girls" on the Honda Stage, Emily Haines can be seen playing a black Fender Mustang Electric Guitar. At the 2:34 minute mark of the video, the headstock is visible, confirming that it is indeed a Fender Mustang. The video, provided by MetricVEVO on YouTube, serves as proof of her use of this specific guitar model.
Emily Haines can be seen playing the Nord Lead 2 in various photos of this 2012 live performance at New Music Live studio, in addition to her usual Sequential Circuits Pro-One. The Nord Lead 2 is identifiable by its flat panel, red colour, and orange pitch bender stick.
