The Blackstar BEAM Mini Amp is a genuinely impressive little amp when it comes to sound quality. From cleans to crunch to full distortion, it covers a wide tonal range and feels responsive to how you actually play, picking up on dynamics and nuance rather than just sounding flat. As a bonus, it doubles nicely as a Bluetooth speaker, making it a versatile piece of gear beyond just guitar practice.
Unfortunately, the companion Android app holds this product back from greatness. I ran into persistent login issues that made it difficult to even access the app's features. The software feels buggy overall: the built-in metronome doesn't produce audible sound, making it essentially unusable, and the music search function fails to return results most of the time.
I reached out to Blackstar support about these issues. They were responsive initially, but communication stalled after my follow-up messages, and I'm still waiting to hear back on a resolution.
The hardware itself deserves 5 stars, but the app experience drags the overall rating down. If Blackstar can iron out these software bugs and improve support follow-through, this would easily be a top-tier product. As it stands, I'd recommend it for the tone and amp quality alone, but go in with realistic expectations for the app.

My travel amp. It’s tiny but produces big sound. Playing along with music is the king. Such an amazing amp.

It sounds impossibly large for how tiny it is. The modeling is perfect. It puts out 99.8 db according to my studio db meter which is as loud as I ever play through my 100 watt Dual rec. The bass response is tight and deep. Its not just a convenient little portable amp, it sounds good enough to be a go to amp for practicing. All volume levels sound good too, at the lowest volumes the bass is still great and at 10 there is no unwanted distortion or brittleness.
The build quality is top notch. At least as good as the Marshall BT speakers. Heavy duty rubber jacket, not the cheesy 'soft touch' rubber that dissolves after years of sweat. Metal jack input, grill, faceplate, buttons, dial and even the logo is CNC'd metal. As a Bluetooth speaker for music it sounds pretty good though you can hear a limiter compressing it at full volume if the song is bass heavy.
