Most desktop amps sound like they're apologizing for existing. The Blackstar BEAM Mini does the opposite — it walks into the room, sets down its tiny frame, and immediately fills the entire space with tone that makes you wonder if someone secretly installed a full-stack behind your couch.
Built on decades of Blackstar amp design expertise and loaded with cutting-edge component-level digital modelling, Neural Amp Modeler (NAM) compatibility, and world-class Bluetooth audio, the BEAM Mini isn't a compromise. It's a flex in a compact package.
Small Amp With a Massive Attitude
There's a running joke among guitarists that small amps sound small. The BEAM Mini didn't get the memo. Inside its sealed, acoustically tuned cabinet live two full-range drivers and two passive bass radiators working in harmony with Blackstar's Super Wide Stereo technology to deliver a tone so room-filling, your neighbors will assume you've taken up gigging from your living room.
Sealed Acoustically Tuned Cabinet: Engineered to deliver powerful, articulate guitar tones and Hi-Fi-quality Bluetooth playback — not just serviceable audio, but genuinely impressive, immersive sound from something small enough to sit on your desk.
Super Wide Stereo with Dual Drivers + Passive Bass Radiators: Two full-range drivers and two passive bass radiators team up to produce a dynamic, room-filling stereo spread that defies the BEAM Mini's compact dimensions at every turn.
'In The Room' Technology: Whether you're playing through speakers or headphones, Blackstar's proprietary technology recreates the raw, physical feel of standing in front of a real cranked amp — minus the noise complaints.
Authentic Tone, Wherever Inspiration Strikes
Twelve authentic electric guitar amp models, three bass amps, an acoustic voice, and over 35 studio-grade effects. That's not a feature list — that's a small army of tone options living inside one compact amp. The BEAM Mini delivers the dynamic, responsive feel of a true valve amp through advanced component-level modelling, so every pick attack, every bend, every late-night noodling session feels exactly as it should. And when you want to go deeper, the SpeedDial control and full-featured Beam app let you dial in tone on the fly — or obsess over every last detail from your pocket.
12 Electric + 3 Bass Amp Models: Six Blackstar designs and five Ampton recreations of iconic amps cover everything from glassy cleans to full-on chaos, all faithfully reproduced with the feel and responsiveness serious players expect from real valves.
NAM Compatibility + 200,000+ Captures: The BEAM Mini is the world's first guitar amp to load Neural Amp Modeler captures. Partnering with TONE3000, it taps into the planet's largest open-source NAM library — over 200,000 community-created captures of classic, boutique, and rare experimental rigs.
SpeedDial + App Control: Quickly refine tones with the physical SpeedDial when time is short, then dive into the full-featured Beam app for granular control over effects, amp settings, cab and mic sims, and more — all without missing a beat.
Artist Patches + Community Sharing: Access an exclusive library of artist patches, download signature sounds from the pros, and share your own custom patches with the wider BEAM community via message or social media.
Built to Go Wherever You Go
IP66-rated dust-tight and weatherproof protection. 18+ hours of battery life. Hi-Fi Bluetooth audio that holds its own as a standalone speaker. The BEAM Mini isn't just a desktop amp — it's an amp that genuinely doesn't care where you decide to play next.
IP66 Weatherproof Design: Dust-tight and built to handle real-world conditions, the BEAM Mini is equally at home on a studio desk, a beach, a tour bus, or that park bench where your best riffs always seem to happen.
18+ Hours of Battery Life: Enough power to outlast even the longest, most meandering jam session without needing to hunt for a wall outlet — or an excuse to stop playing.
Hi-Fi Bluetooth Playback + Headset Mic Support: Pair your phone and use BEAM Mini as a high-quality portable speaker or connect a headset mic to blend guitar and vocals in perfect harmony right in your headphones — ideal for practicing, busking, or performing anywhere.
A Desktop Amp That Actually Means It
The Blackstar BEAM Mini is decades of premium amp-building squeezed into a highly portable, digitally smart package. It sounds and feels like a genuine tube amp, but goes wherever you go — no roadies, back braces, or trying to convince airport security that it's a "personal item" required. If you refuse to let tiny apartments or travel schedules ruin your tone, the BEAM Mini has your back.
