Blackstar Beam Mini – Big Tone, Tiny Footprint

The Blackstar Beam Mini is a desktop guitar amp built for players who want serious tone wherever they land – at the kitchen table, in a hotel room, or on the studio desk. It packs 24W of stereo sound, a deep library of amp voices and Neural Amp Modeller support into a rugged unit you can carry in one hand, and it is available at Soundium.

Key Features

• 24W Stereo Sound: A custom full-range speaker system with dual passive bass radiators fills the room well beyond its size.
• 12 Amp Models Plus Voices: Six Blackstar designs and six Ampton recreations of classic amps, with dedicated bass and acoustic voices.
• Neural Amp Modeller Support: Load NAM captures directly on the unit to play through community profiles of real rigs.
• ISF Tone Control: Blackstar patented ISF dials voicing smoothly from American to British character.
• 35+ Studio Effects: Reverbs, delays, modulation and more, with XpressFX for real-time intensity control.
• SpeedDial and Light Beam Display: Shape your sound directly on the amp with instant visual feedback.

Customer Benefits

The Beam Mini removes the barriers between you and a good tone. CabRig speaker simulation with In The Room technology gives the response and feel of a valve amp through the built-in speakers or headphones, so practice never feels flat. A studio-quality headset mic input with its own reverb turns it into a singer-songwriter station, while Bluetooth lets you stream backing tracks and jam along. When inspiration hits, the USB-C audio interface and included Ableton Live Lite take you straight from idea to recording.
