THE AUCTION IS NOW FINISHED.
Mike Peters first started using the Blackstar HT Club 40 earlier in the year and (as fans who have seen the tour can testify), the amps have played a major part in defining the sound Mike Peters has aspired to ever since that first experiment with electric pickups in acoustic guitars that The Alarm began back in 1981.
