Intelligent Amp Modelling with Native NAM Captures
At the core of the setup is the Beam Mini, driven by advanced component-level modelling, over 35 studio-grade effects, and Blackstar's patented Infinite Shape Feature (ISF) for seamless transitions between American and British voicings. It is the first amplifier engineered to natively load NAM A2 (Neural Amp Modeler) captures. Through a dedicated partnership with TONE3000, players can browse thousands of community-crafted profiles and beam their preferred amp tones straight to the hardware using the companion Beam app.
Immersive Audio and Moises Stem Separation
Blackstar's signature Super Wide Stereo architecture disperses sound across a wide spatial field, making the amplifier equally adept at projecting dimensional guitar sounds or streaming music via Bluetooth. Practice sessions are enhanced by integrated Moises real-time stem separation technology, which lets you mute or isolate guitar tracks from existing recordings to generate custom backing tracks on the fly.
Low-Latency 5.8GHz Instrument Wireless
The Airwire i58 system liberates your instrument from standard guitar leads by operating on the 5.8GHz frequency band, avoiding congested 2.4GHz Wi-Fi traffic. It delivers under 6ms of latency across an operating range of up to 35 metres, preserving natural pick attack and dynamics. A switchable Cable Tone setting emulates the gentle high-frequency roll-off typical of standard instrument cables for players seeking vintage capacitive feel.
Hands-Free Bluetooth Footswitch Control
The companion Beam Control footcontroller connects wirelessly via Bluetooth directly to the amplifier without requiring complex pairing routines or programming. Operating across Patch, FX, and Custom modes, it lets you select presets, toggle individual modulation or drive effects, and map bespoke footswitch assignments via the Beam app, keeping your hands firmly on the fretboard.
Rugged Portability and Extended Battery Power
Built for off-grid playing and everyday travel, the entire package boasts substantial rechargeable runtimes: up to 18 hours from the Beam Mini, 12 hours from the Beam Control footcontroller, and 9 hours from the Airwire i58 transmitter. The amplifier chassis carries an IP66 rating for dust and water resistance, while the dedicated case features an impact-resistant shell, vegan leather outer, durable carry handle, and a zipped internal pocket for picks, capos, and spares.
