The Blackstar Beam Mini is a compact desktop amp that completely redefines what a portable guitar amplifier can be. Despite its tiny footprint, it delivers a huge, room-filling sound with low-end response that feels impossible for its size. Designed for electric, bass and acoustic guitar, Beam Mini combines decades of Blackstar amp design expertise with cutting-edge digital modelling, AI-powered features and a fully acoustically engineered cabinet. The result is a smart, modern practice and recording amp that sounds far bigger, fuller and more inspiring than anything in its class.
Beam Mini is the first amplifier to natively support Neural Amp Model (NAM) captures, giving players access to over 200,000 community-created Tone3000 profiles. This is a massive deal: you can load authentic captures of boutique amps, rare rigs, studio chains and artist tones directly onto the unit, instantly transforming it into almost anything you want. For a compact amp, this is unprecedented.
It also integrates Moises AI stem separation, allowing you to isolate or remove instruments from any song. Remove the guitar from a classic track and step straight into the player's shoes, or isolate a part to study every detail. This works for all instruments, giving musicians a completely new way to practise, learn and create.
Inside the acoustically tuned, sealed cabinet are two full-range drivers and dual passive radiators, delivering powerful, articulate tone with genuinely surprising bass response. Blackstar's Super Wide Stereo technology creates an immersive soundstage that makes both guitar tones and Bluetooth audio feel huge and three-dimensional.
Beam Mini includes twelve component-level electric guitar amp models (six Blackstar originals and six Ampton recreations of iconic amps), plus bass amps, acoustic voices, an acoustic simulator and over 35 studio-grade effects. Blackstar's patented ISF control lets you sweep from American to British voicings, while XpressFX allows multiple effects to be controlled at once with a single movement of the SpeedDial.
The top panel features a tactile SpeedDial and Light Beam Display, giving instant visual feedback with no menus to navigate. For deeper editing, the Beam app unlocks full control of amps, cabs, mics and effects, plus artist patches, community tone sharing, curated backing tracks and video lessons.
Beam Mini also functions as a USB-C audio interface, includes CabRig IR-based speaker simulation with In The Room technology, and features a headset mic input for recording vocals and guitar together. With IP66 dust-tight and weatherproof protection, over 18 hours of play time, Bluetooth streaming and Ableton Live Lite included, Beam Mini is built for practice, songwriting, recording, content creation and playing anywhere.
