Weyes Blood's Gear
Whenever Natalie is seen performing with an acoustic guitar, she is usually using her Guild D-40, as she is during this 2019 NPR Tiny Desk concert. The headstock is visible at 02:52 and confirms the model.
During a Reddit AMA, a user asked what Natalie's favorite synthesizer or piece of musical equipment was, and she replied with the following:
"I love the arp odyssey... very crunchy and angular, unearthly sounds. Hard to choose an absolute favorite piece of music equipment, but of what I own, I love my korg delta string synth. brings me to heaven."
In this article, Weyes Blood mentions using the LinnDrum on the track, "Andromeda" from her 2019 album, "Titanic Rising."
"This synth is incredibly versatile, a really great remake worth its weight in gold. So many quintessential synth leads and feelings created from this puppy. The gift that keeps giving." Weyes Blood mentions in this Synth History's Article.
"5. Tascam Portastudio 424 MKII If you don’t feel like cooking up the big boy, four track is the ultimate grab and save for me. I love recording improvisatory song ideas and the four track is so forgiving, whatever you lay down seems sacred. It's also just remarkably easy to use. No computer blockages, which happen frequently with software and interfaces. There's nothing worse than having an idea and being blocked by some bogus updates on the computer. This thing just turns on. Best partner to have."

During her 2019 KEXP performance, Natalie sings through a Shure Beta 58A. At 03:30 and 04:05, among other times, the blue ring at the center of the diaphragm is visible, distinguishing it from the standard SM58.

"4. Tascam 388 If you really want to go for the classic at-home recording feel, this is the best bet. Beautiful built-in board that I’ve used independently of the tape recorder component just because the ins and outs alone have their own vibe and sound. I really love recording acoustic on this and doubling at variable speed — in fact it's kind of a huge chorus pedal for me."
"2. Korg Lambda String Synth This synth is remarkable for adding huge beds of drone under any excruciatingly sad and melodramatic music you may write. Obviously works great for me."
"1. Yamaha EMX212S PA System I think it's important for every songwriter to hear their voice through a reverberant, boomy, crappy PA system. It's humbling but also subtly elevates the at-home jams to feel like you’re playing a house show for yourself. Not to mention you can YouTube karaoke yourself into oblivion with no one around."
Natalie can be seen using an SR314 for her vocals and acoustic guitar throughout the video.
