Blackstar BEAM Mini Compact Desktop Guitar Amp

Mini amp. Major tone.

Compact, powerful and intuitive, Beam Mini redefines the portable desktop guitar amp. Delivering immersive tones for electric, bass and acoustic guitar, it combines decades of Blackstar amp design expertise with advanced digital modelling and modern connectivity in a compact design you can take anywhere.

Beam Mini is the first amplifier to natively load Neural Amp Model (NAM) captures. Through Blackstar’s partnership with TONE3000, players can access a library of thousands of community-created NAM profiles and load them directly onto the amp, unlocking an enormous collection of authentic captured tones.

Alongside NAM compatibility, Beam Mini includes a suite of component-level modelled amplifiers developed by Blackstar’s UK engineering team. Eleven electric guitar amps, including six original Blackstar designs and five Ampton recreations of iconic amplifiers, are joined by three bass amps and an acoustic voice and over 35 studio-quality effects. Blackstar’s patented ISF control allows players to shape tone from American to British voicings and everything in between.

Beam Mini also integrates Moises stem separation, letting you isolate or remove guitars in real-time from any song. Want to play along with a classic track? Remove the guitars and step into the player’s shoes, isolate the guitars completely to study every detail of the performance giving musicians a completely new way to practise, learn, and play along with their favourite music. Available now on iOS. Android follows on 30 September 2026.

The Beam app

The Beam app gives players full control over amps, effects, cabinets and mics from their iOS or Android device. Dive deeper than the top-panel controls to edit tones, create custom patches, explore artist signature sounds, jam along with curated backing tracks, watch video lessons and instantly share patches with the global Beam community.

Big sound, small footprint

Custom full-range drivers, dual passive radiators and Super Wide Stereo deliver powerful, room-filling sound for both guitar and Bluetooth audio playback. A unique SpeedDial control system and dynamic Light Beam display make tone shaping fast and intuitive from the top panel, while the Beam mobile app unlocks deeper editing, artist patches, community tone sharing, curated backing tracks and video lessons, bringing smart, connected features to your desktop amp.

With USB-C audio interface functionality, Bluetooth audio streaming, a headset mic input for recording guitar and vocals together, and an IP66 dust-tight and weatherproof design, Beam Mini delivers professional tone, versatility and connectivity in a truly portable smart amp. Blackstar’s IR-based CabRig speaker simulation with their exclusive In The Room technology provides lifelike cabinet presence for direct playing or headphones and with Ableton Live Lite included, you are recording ready right out of the box.
