Blackstar Beam Solo Adds Native NAM A2 Capture Support
Last year, Blackstar Amplification introduced the Beam Solo headphone amp. Now, they’ve partnered with TONE3000 to add NAM A2 capture support to the compact unit, making it the first headphone amp to natively run Neural Amp Modeler (NAM) technology.
“Powered by TONE3000’s NAM A2 engine, Beam Solo users can load NAM A2 Lite captures directly into their Beam Solo, accessing the accuracy and detail of neural amp modeling in a compact, plug-in-and-play format,” the company shares. “It’s a significant technological step for the headphone amp category, and a clear differentiator for players who demand more from a practice and recording tool.”

The Beam Solo continues to be a wireless and silent-practice solution for both guitarists and bassists. Its 1/4-inch jack folds up for storage, while a 1/8th-inch jack allows for plugging in your headphones. It has controls for Patch, Gain, EQ, FX, and Volum. An app lets you choose from from over 50 amps, cabs, mics, and effects pedals.
The Blackstar Beam Solo is available now for $129.99.
