Blackstar Beam Solo

Full Description

Immersive practice sound

The Beam Solo changes how a headphone amp feels by using In The Room technology to make it sound like you’re stood right in front of a real amplifier. Instead of flat, lifeless tones, you get depth, space and dynamics that bring your playing to life. It’s a huge step up for practice sessions, making them feel more like a live experience. This natural response keeps you inspired and connected to your guitar, even when you’re playing late at night on headphones.

Quick and easy control

Dialling in tones on the Beam Solo couldn’t be simpler thanks to the SpeedDial and XpressFX system. Scroll through amps, cabs and effects in seconds, then shape them with intuitive tweaks that feel fluid and musical. The dynamic Light Beam display gives you instant visual feedback, so you always know where your sound is heading. It’s designed to keep things quick and effortless, leaving you free to focus on playing.

Recording and jamming made simple

With USB-C multi-channel recording, Bluetooth playback and a headset mic input, Beam Solo is more than just a practice tool. You can record polished guitar and vocal tracks straight into your computer, jam along to your favourite songs, and more. The built-in preamp and reverb on the mic input mean vocals sound clear and lively, while guitar tones stay punchy and detailed. It’s a powerful little hub for players who like to capture ideas on the fly.

Community and creativity

Beam Solo connects you to a global network of players through the Beam app. Save and share your patches, download artist tones and discover fresh sounds from other musicians. Regular updates bring new amps, effects and features, so the unit grows with you over time. Integrated lessons and backing tracks make practice more engaging, while the social sharing tools let you showcase your favourite tones instantly. It’s more than gear – it’s a creative platform built to keep your playing evolving.
