Blackstar Beam Mini Amp

The Blackstar Beam Mini is a compact desktop amp that delivers powerful, immersive tone without compromise. Designed for players who want professional sound in a portable format, it combines advanced digital modelling, intuitive controls, and high-quality Bluetooth audio in one versatile unit.

Built using cutting-edge component-level modelling, the Beam Mini recreates the dynamic feel and response of real valve amplifiers. With a wide selection of electric, bass, and acoustic voices, along with a full suite of studio-quality effects, it offers exceptional tonal flexibility for practice, recording, and performance.

At its core is a sealed, acoustically engineered cabinet featuring dual full-range drivers and passive bass radiators, enhanced by Blackstar’s Super Wide Stereo technology. The result is a rich, room-filling sound that far exceeds expectations for its size.

Beam Mini also supports Neural Amp Modeler (NAM) captures, allowing you to load highly accurate models of real-world amps and rigs. Combined with access to a vast online tone library, it opens up virtually limitless tonal possibilities.

Control is quick and intuitive thanks to the onboard SpeedDial system, while deeper editing and access to amps, effects, and presets is handled through the dedicated Beam app. With Bluetooth audio, long battery life, and a rugged, weather-resistant design, it’s built to go wherever inspiration strikes.
