In this Instagram photo by Matthew Healy, one can see that one of five new purchases is the Strymon Timeline effects pedal.

In the 2013 Musiques en Stock concert, Matthew Healy of The 1975 is seen using a Shure Beta 58A microphone.

On the fifth page of the interview, Matty discusses his gear and says “I’m not as technical. I’ve got an Electro-Harmonix Clone Theory chorus, the Boss compressor, an Analogman Sun Face fuzz pedal, two small EHX Holy Grails and a Boss DD-3 delay. At the moment, I’m playing a Blackstar combo, the Artisan 30. Again, it’s very transparent. Then I’ve got a ’65 Mustang, a ’67 Mustang, a ’68 Mustang, and a ’78 Mustang.”

In the minute 1:34 it can be seen the name of this controller, which he uses to drop some samples.

Matthew Healy uses the L.R. Baggs M80 Magnetic Soundhole Pickup with his Gibson acoustic guitar, as seen in the KFOG Studio Session: The 1975 - Full Concert on YouTube, provided by Cumulus Digital - SF.

Matty plays this Dot in "Ghosts" around 2011. (Post Drive Like I Do, maybe during the B I G S L E E P or The Slowdown Era). It's most likely an Epiphone since he (or Adam, cause he's used it too) put tape over the headstock, covering the brand. Both the Vintage Sunburst finish and the design in the headstock match.

Matthew Healy uses a custom-made dual pedal, the Pigeon FX Queer, which combines a modified VORG Warp Sound F-502 with a Russian Big Muff. This pedal is designed to achieve tones reminiscent of My Bloody Valentine and is named after a novel by William S. Burroughs. This setup is featured on his Instagram account.

During the reading and Leeds festival 2022 we can see Matt Healy playing a fiesta red Strat that looks pretty old. doing some research he seems to have acquired it from here.

The article confirms all of the details of the guitar. As well as it's history.

"I picked up the '62 Fiesta Red Strat out of its case and saw a 5 digit serial number, spaghetti style logo, faded mint green pickguard, and worn custom color Fiesta Red finish. The 5 digit serial number beginning with 82xxx falls right in line with the range we would expect for 1962 (More: Fender Serial Numbers). The spaghetti style logo with three patent numbers was introduced late 1962 and lasted until mid 1964. The celluloid pickguard, which most collectors refer to as mint green because of the look it gets after fading over time, was updated to a pure white ABS material in 1965. "

He then talks about how he sold it to "fellow guitar collector, and Dirty Hit [1975's Label] record label owner Jamie Oborne"

And later

"I received a picture from Jamie recently of Matty Healy of The 1975 playing this exact '62 Fiesta Red Stratocaster at the Reading Festival 2022. Jamie was able to have nice refret completed and have the middle pickup rewound to original spec."
