Thomas Bangalter's Gear
Throughout this live DJ set Bangalter can be seen tweaking a purple or blue Guyatone Flip series tube pedal that based on the color can only be a funkybox autowah/enveope filter or a delay. Since no echo is audible and you can hear filter tweaking this means the funkybox is the pedal in question as its the only pedal in the line capable of these sounds and its the right color. The pedal first appears at 11 seconds. Special thanks to @pkennethk @eyeseeofficial and especially @finleygomez who linked us to the video.
This is his helmet which he wears to perform, go to award ceremonies, and any other public event.

In this user-uploaded photo, Thomas Bangalter is seen with a Roland TR-909 Rhythm Composer, a key piece of gear in his production setup.
In this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ENeGd7kRxs&ab_channel=Daftworld, Thomas is seen using an ARP Odyssey as carrier for the vocoder (check the PPC buttons at the left of the synth !).
Per these combined screenshots from a 1999 DJ set @ Hyperactive and a different 1999 DJ set at an unspecified location Thomas Bangalter utilized a Roland DJ-70mkii sampler. While these videos are low-res, there have been no other products on the market before or since that feature a scratch-platter control on the right hand side of a 37 note keyboard with a backlit LCD in that location. The fact that the "DJ-70" label on the body is not in large white text identifies this unit as a "mkii".
Through the music video for Robot Rock off the 2005 album Human After All Thomas Bangalter is seen playing what appears to be a double neck Gibson SG. The serial number is not clear but guessing it is a new guitar so at the time could either be a 90’s or 00’s.

Bangalter: We have 15 tons of equipment, including prototypes or modified regular technology — things we’ve re-engineered. We built the custom pyramid. We set up a production company, Daft Arts, in Los Angeles, to work on [the duo’s 2006 film] “Electroma.” We really used it, in the same way we’d produce a music video, to come up with a total independent take on it. There’s a lot of troubleshooting and tech and making custom computers. We work with Ableton Live, which is really at the core of the performance right now: We have the music and the lights synced up. It really makes the robots and the personas come to life, within this universe we’ve worked on for the last 12 years.
on this photo we see that thomas is touching the potentiometer of the 1202
By counting the number of potentiometers, it is confirmed that Thomas Bangalter uses the Mackie Micro-Series 1202 (First Series), as evidenced by the image provided.
