Proceeds from the sale of the amp will go to Milk Crate Theatre. The Sydney-based charity supports homeless people through workshops, theatre productions and community outreach.

The amp was signed by all five current members of The Cure – frontman Robert Smith, bassist Simon Gallup, guitarist Reeves Gabrels, keyboardist Roger O’Donnell and drummer Jason Cooper.
Smith also recently signed a signature Schecter Ultracure guitar in a charity auction to support UK roadcrew in December 2020.
Elsewhere in 2020, Smith collaborated with Gorillaz on their single ‘Strange Timez’ and remixed Deftones’ ‘Teenager’ as part of the band’s ‘Black Stallion’ remix album.
The Cure’s long-awaited follow-up to 2008’s ‘4:13 Dream’, meanwhile, continues to be worked on.
