Robert Smith

In this article on the making of "A Forest" from the Cure's album Seventeen Seconds, producer Mike Hedges recalls the gear used by Robert Smith in the studio. "[His] guitar went through a Roland JC120, close-miked with a Shure SM57 while a Neumann U47 was positioned about three feet away."

In this live video of the Cure's May 13 performance in Austin, TX, at the 45 second mark, in the lower-left corner we can see one of the two Cube 80 amps Smith has been using on the band's 2016 tour.

This article from the April 2000 issue of Guitar Player magazine lists the AC-30 as being among Robert's amplifiers during the recording of their album Wild Mood Swings.

Robert is pictured here, playing in front of the pair of Musician amplifiers he employed throughout the 1980s.

In this interview from the April 2000 issue of Guitar World magazine, the Flextone Plus is listed as being one of Robert's amps during the making of the Bloodflowers album.

At 5:00 in this video you can see Robert playing through a Roland Jazz Chorus-160.

In this image from the Cure's 2016 performance at the Hollywood Bowl, which was posted on Supro's Facebook page, we can see that Smith's live touring rig includes two Supro 1695T amps as of this writing.

In this scan of a Guitar World article it reads, "Smith's main amps were Vintage Vox AC30s, and old Orange and a Selmer Zodiac Twin 30."

This transcription of an article from the June 1996 issue of Sound on Sound magazine lists the Bluesbreaker among Smith's gear circa the recording of the Cure's Wild Mood Swings album.

From this article:

Footage of the group’s show at the iconic Sydney Opera House, which celebrated the 30th anniversary of landmark album Disintegration, shows Smith flanked by a cluster of four Spiders - a quartet of cobweb-coated Spider V 120s, to be precise.

In an Instagram post from the official Cure account, Robert Smith's rehearsal setup for the "Songs of the Lost World" performance and global livestream on November 1, 2024, is shown, featuring a Roland Cube-60 Bass amp positioned next to his UltraCure VI guitar.
