Swedish House Mafia
Swedish House Mafia's Gear
The OP-1 is the star and is widely featured in the music video of "One (Your Name)".
At 3:04, we see the interface for Logic Pro open on Axwell's MacBook Pro. The words "Logic Pro" can be seen on the upper-left-hand corner of his screen.

In this video, making of "One" with Future Magazine from august 2010, Axwell mentions at 4:38 that the piano they used in the song is from the "korg".
4:46 into their video detailing the making of "One" Axwell says "we've put it through Ozone, and it goes, like, 'BOOM! What happened there?' laughs"
The video was filmed in August 2010, which predates the release of Ozone 5, so they are very likely using Ozone 4.
"...and then we've got [Sylenth], Lady Gaga sounds over here. This is where the rave begins...!" (2:52)

In the video an audio file named "VFX Hits..." can be seen at 06.02 min.
At 1:30 in this video, Steve Angello & Sebastian Ingrosso are making melodies of "Don't You Worry Child" on an Akai MPK61.
At 05:36 min a VST PlugIn named "PSP Vintag..." can be seen.
A pair of these can be seen around Axwell's forehead. The shape of the earpieces and what appears to be writing on the headband distinguish them as WeSC Bassoons.

Twenty-three seconds into this video, Axwell points out that they are at the Metropolis Studio in London. Eight minutes into this video in which SHM produces "One", we see Pro Tools running on one of the studio screens.
The room in which this video takes place fits the description of Metropolis' Studio E, which lists Pro Tools 10.3.7 amongst its equipment.
Around 5:28 - 5:31, on the left of their studio screen, the "PAZ Anal" (which is the Waves PAZ Analyzer, as abbreviated by Logic's channel strip) can be seen on the second channel strip from the left.

At 1:53 in this YouTube video, Axwell is using The Fusor from Synth Squad.
WARNING: Video related to alcohol promotion, viewers must be old enough to legally purchase alcohol in their country to view this video.
In this video detailing the production of "One", Axwell mentions that they're in Metropolis Studio in London. According to http://www.thisismetropolis.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/Studio-A.pdf, there are two Distressors in Studio A, where this video— and the production of "One"— took place.
"Chords, courtesy of Synplant, makes interesting sounds..." (2:46)
Two members of Swedish House Mafia have commented on their use of the reFX Nexus 2 plugin on the reFX website, highlighting its role in their music production.

In this image Sebastian Ingrosso is wearing the Urbanears Zinken in Swedish House Mafia's last show.
At 0:12, Axwell can be seen wearing Sennheiser HD 25-1 II headphones while on his MacBook Pro.
"We used an eq, and the the SSL Compressor."

You can see a pair of them behind Steve Angello at 0:19. Their signature black 'drips' can be seen in the white speaker cone.
32 seconds into their video demonstrating the making of "One", Axwell sits in front of a MacBook Pro. The width along the sides of the keyboard would suggest that it is the 15" model.
In the photo in this article about SHM, we can see them all working with a Pioneer mixer with six blue buttons on the left-hand side of the unit— a DJM-900 Nexus.
Two of these are visible behind Steve Angello at 10:40. They appear to have a design similar to the UREI version (the manufacturers of the 1176LN before Universal Audio), as they lack UA's distinct blue stripe around the lit meter.
At 5:37, on the channel bus group, we see "Space Dsn" fourth from the top of the left-most channel strip on the screen. This is one of Logic's built-in reverb plugins.
In the studio in Miami where SHM produced their track "One", Axwell's used the plugin Vengeance Producer Suite - Multiband Sidechain2 on his laptop. It can be seen at the 36:23 mark of the video.
At 8:49 an interviewer says, "So Axwell, you want to tell us about Melodyne?" and Axwell proceeds to tell them, "Yeah, we did a lot of Melodyn-ing" on the vocal. Afterwards, they demonstrate the vocal with and without the use of the Melodyne plugin.
At 3:00 in this video, an Access Virus TI2 Polar Synthesizer can be seen in Swedish House Mafia's home studio.
In the YouTube video "Swedish House Mafia - Greyhound - Studio / Making of," at 1:08, a Rob Papen Predator plugin is visible on Steve Angello's laptop behind Axwell.
In this Flickr photo from SHM's performance at Tomorrowland 2010, a pair of HDJ-2000s can be seen around Sebastian's neck.
In this photo from an Ibiza performance in 2011, SHM can be seen performing on Pioneer CDJ-2000s. There are only four buttons on the upper left-hand side of the interface, so they must be the standard 2000 model (as opposed to the Nexus model).
At the very beginning of this video, we can see Sebastians Macbook connected to a Thunderbolt display.
