The BEAM: Solo packs the experience of a full-featured studio rig into a headphone amp the size of your snack stash. Designed for electric, acoustic, and bass guitars, it delivers signature Blackstar tone along with intuitive controls that make sense mid-session. The built-in SpeedDial wheel and Light Beam display put tone-shaping at your fingertips, no menu diving here. And thanks to the patented ISF control, you can dial in everything from tight American grit to warm British breakup without switching tubes or moving a mic. Add in “In The Room™” sound, and your headphones feel more like a 4x12 cab wrapped around your head.What really sets BEAM: Solo apart is how it blends top-tier sound with creator-focused features. You get full app control with photo-realistic amps, cabs, pedals, and mics, plus a growing library of artist patches, backing tracks, and lessons. Want to capture vocals too? Just plug in a headset mic—there’s even a dedicated preamp with built-in reverb for that. Bluetooth support lets you jam along to your favorite tracks, and when inspiration strikes, you can record your ideas and share them with other players online. It’s the first headphone amp that feels like a creative partner and not just a volume knob with options.Blackstar BEAM Solo IncludesBEAM SOLO Headphone AmpUSB-C Charging/Recording CableQuick Start GuideMobile app available for iOS and AndroidBlackstar BEAM Solo FeaturesBEAM: SoloDelivers full studio-grade tone for electric, acoustic, and bass guitars in a compact headphone ampSpeedDial wheel and Light Beam display offer real-time tone shaping without diving into menusPatented ISF control lets you blend American and British tones with a single dial“In The Room™” tech gives headphone sessions the feel and dynamics of a live ampApp integration provides access to amps, cabs, mics, pedals, artist patches, and lessonsBuilt-in mic input with studio-grade preamp and reverb enables vocal recording on the goBluetooth connectivity lets you play along with your favorite tracksOnline community support allows you to share tones, discover patches, and connect with other musiciansSized to fit in your pocket but powerful enough to serve as your go-to creative rigBlackstar BEAM App6 Head distinct amplifier choices from clean and chimey to high gain insanity.Access 6 Cab and 6 Microphones options using our CabRig™ DSP to unlock hundreds of variations.Over 35 effects to further enhance your soundAbility to save and recall custom presets and patchesPhoto-realistic displays for Blackstar Amplifiers, cabinets and effect pedalsTone Control manually or on the app in real time via Bluetooth phone connectivityDirect recording capability for capturing ideas on the goIntuitive user interface for easy navigation and tone customizationFirmware updates for continuous feature enhancementsBuilt-in tuner and metronomeBlackstar BEAM Solo SpecificationsApproximate battery life (charged via USB-C): 5 hours+Dynamic Light Beam displayXPressFX quick parameter changes using SpeedDialAmplifiers: 8+Effects: 35+ISF (patented Infinite Shape Feature)IR-based CabRig speaker simulator with "In The Room™Cabinet and microphone combinations: 24+Room environment combinations: 9+Multi-channel direct recording (via USB-C)3.5mm headphone jack socket with headset mic input¼" jack (integrated, folding)Save and recall patchesShare patches via Online Community and socialsBuilt-in tunerBluetooth connectivity for music playbackBEAM mobile app for iOS and AndroidIntegrated lessons and backing tracks via BEAM mobile app Blackstar BEAM Solo Plug-On Headphone Guitar Amp With App Control And Modeling.
