Blackstar BEAM Mini Compact Desktop Guitar Amp

Big tone. Small footprint. Endless inspiration.

The Blackstar BEAM Mini is a powerful compact desktop amp designed for guitarists, bass players, acoustic players, songwriters, and creators who want serious tone in a portable, easy-to-use format. Combining Blackstar’s decades of amp design expertise with advanced component-level digital modelling and Neural Amp Modeler compatibility, the BEAM Mini delivers immersive sound and incredible tonal flexibility from a compact amp you can place on your desk, carry to a jam session, or use anywhere inspiration strikes.

Its sealed, acoustically tuned cabinet features two full-range drivers and two passive bass radiators, working together with Blackstar’s Super Wide Stereo technology to produce a surprisingly big, room-filling sound. Whether you are practising, playing along with tracks, creating content, recording ideas, or using it as a Bluetooth speaker, the BEAM Mini is built to do much more than a regular practice amp.

With 12 authentic electric guitar amp models, three bass amps, an acoustic voice, and over 35 studio-grade effects, you can explore a wide range of tones from clean and boutique-style sounds to classic crunch, modern high gain, bass tones, acoustic textures, and more. The Beam app unlocks deeper editing, including amps, cabs, mics, pedals, a built-in tuner, metronome, and pro-level tone tools.

The BEAM Mini is also the first guitar amp that can load Neural Amp Modeler captures, giving you access to 200,000+ community-created tones through TONE3000. CabRig IR-based speaker and mic simulation, Blackstar’s “In The Room” technology, SpeedDial control, XpressFX, Hi-Fi Bluetooth audio, and 18+ hours of battery life make this a complete portable amp solution for modern musicians.
