Blackstar Beam Solo

The Blackstar Beam Solo brings together the sound and experience of famous Blackstar amps in a compact headphone amplifier for electric guitar, bass and acoustic guitar. The Beam app gives you access to an extensive sound library with six different amp styles, six cabinet options and six mic positions to shape your sound completely to your liking.

On top of that, more than 35 effects are available, and thanks to the SpeedDial and side controls, you control key functions right from the device. Via the Blackstar community, you can also share your own presets and download new sounds from other users.

In addition to these creative capabilities, the BEAM Solo features a USB-C audio interface for recording and Bluetooth functionality for music playback. This makes it the ultimate all-in-one solution for practicing and recording wherever you are.

The Beam App:
While you can adjust basic settings such as presets, gain, volume and EQ directly on the Blackstar Beam Solo, get the most out of the device via the Beam App for iOS and Android. Wireless pairing with your smartphone or tablet uses Blackstar's CabRig DSP speaker simulator, which lets you experience the realistic sound and feel of a microphone-mounted cabinet. With six cabinets and six microphone options, you fine-tune your sound in detail. You also have access to 35 effects, including chorus, delay and reverb, so you can refine your sound to recording-ready perfection. The clearly laid-out interface lets you set up the right sound quickly and intuitively. And even without separate accessories you'll be fine: the Beam App includes a built-in tuner and metronome.

A recording studio in your pocket:
The Blackstar Beam Solo is not only ideal for practicing and finding your perfect sound, but also immediately ready for recording. Via its USB-C connection, it works as an audio interface and connects seamlessly to your DAW, so you can immediately capture new guitar parts as soon as inspiration strikes. In addition, the 3.5mm TRRS input accepts headsets with microphones, making it easy to record vocals as well. Whether you're a singer-songwriter, podcaster, live streamer or recording artist, the Beam Solo gives you the freedom to capture your creativity anywhere.
