The Blackstar Beam Mini redefines what a desktop amplifier can be, combining premium guitar tone, powerful Bluetooth audio, and portable convenience into one compact package. Designed for electric, bass, and acoustic players alike, the Beam Mini delivers an inspiring playing experience anywhere you go, with an extensive library of component-modeled amplifiers, studio-grade effects, and groundbreaking Neural Amp Model (NAM) compatibility. Whether you're practicing at home, recording ideas on the move, or streaming your favorite music, the Beam Mini is built to be your everyday musical companion.
At the heart of the Beam Mini is Blackstar's advanced component-level amp modeling technology, faithfully recreating the feel and responsiveness of real tube amplifiers. Players can explore more than 50 meticulously crafted amp, cabinet, and effect models, including original Blackstar voices and classic-inspired Ampton Series recreations. Blackstar's patented ISF control allows seamless adjustment between American and British tonal characteristics, while CabRig speaker simulation with In The Room technology provides realistic cabinet and microphone emulation for headphones, recording, and direct monitoring applications.
The Beam Mini also features native Neural Amp Model support, granting access to Tone3000's immense library of more than 200,000 community-created amplifier captures. This unprecedented collection opens the door to virtually limitless tonal possibilities, placing legendary rigs and boutique sounds at your fingertips. Future updates will further enhance the experience with Moises AI stem separation technology, allowing players to isolate or remove instruments from songs for more effective practice sessions and play-along experiences.
Built for life beyond the desktop, the Beam Mini boasts an impressive 18-hour rechargeable battery, convenient USB-C charging, and an IP66 weatherproof rating that protects against dust and light rain. Despite its compact size, the Beam Mini delivers expansive sound through dual full-range speakers and passive bass radiators, producing Blackstar's immersive Super Wide Stereo audio performance. Whether you're practicing guitar, listening to music, or jamming with friends outdoors, the Beam Mini delivers room-filling sound wherever inspiration strikes.
Operation is fast and intuitive thanks to the Beam Mini's SpeedDial control wheel and dynamic Light Beam display. Dedicated XpressFX controls make effect adjustments effortless, while the free Beam app for iOS and Android unlocks advanced editing tools, artist presets, community tone sharing, backing tracks, video lessons, and an integrated tuner.
When creativity hits, the Beam Mini is ready to record. Its innovative USB-C audio interface allows direct multichannel recording into your favorite DAW, while the TRRS headset microphone input supports vocal recording alongside guitar tracking. Monitor everything through a single set of headphones and start producing immediately with the included Ableton Live Lite software.
