This versatility is enhanced by six cabinet and microphone options, controlled through Blackstar’s CabRig DSP technology. The result is hundreds of tonal combinations that let players tailor their sound with impressive precision. Whether you’re refining a warm acoustic tone or dialing in heavy distortion for a bass line, the BEAM Solo delivers studio-quality tone to match your vision.

Built-In Effects, NAM A2 and App Integration

Expand your creativity with over 35 onboard effects and full app integration for iOS and Android devices. The photo-realistic interface allows you to customize amp heads, cabinets and pedal settings in real time via Bluetooth.

Save your favorite presets, download patches from the Blackstar community and receive new functionality through firmware updates. This rich feature set transforms the BEAM Solo into a powerful creative hub for practice, recording and exploring new sounds.

Intuitive Design for Effortless Control

The Blackstar BEAM Solo is designed with ease of use in mind, featuring a SpeedDial control wheel that allows you to adjust patches, gain, EQ, FX and volume in seconds. The XpressFX functionality makes tweaking your effects chain straightforward, while the dynamic light beam offers real-time visual feedback for precise tone adjustments.
