Combining decades of amp design expertise with cutting-edge component-level digital modelling and Neural Amp Modeler (NAM) compatibility, Beam Mini redefines what a compact amp can be. Enjoy best-in-class guitar tone and world-class Bluetooth audio playback, without compromise.

Acoustically Engineered for Powerful, Accurate Sound

The sealed acoustically-tuned cabinet delivers powerful and articulate guitar tones and exceptional Bluetooth music playback. Two full-range drivers plus two passive bass radiators, combine with Super Wide Stereo for an immersive, room-filling tone you won’t believe comes from something this small.

Component-Level Modelling

Beam Mini delivers the dynamic, responsive feel of a true valve amp through advanced component-level modelling. Twelve authentic electric guitar amps (six Blackstar designs and five Ampton recreations of iconic amps), three bass amps, an acoustic voice and over 35 studio-grade effects deliver authentic tone with modern flexibility.

Neural Amp Modeler (NAM) captures

Beam Mini is the first guitar amp that can load Neural Amp Modeler (NAM) captures. Load and play highly accurate captures of real valve amps and rigs, with the dynamic feel and response serious players expect.
