Blackstar has introduced the new BEAM Control, a Bluetooth wireless foot controller designed specifically for the BEAM series! It will be available starting Saturday, November 14, 2026.

One of its standout features is its simple, intuitive operation, with no complicated programming required. The BEAM Control connects quickly to BEAM series amplifiers via Bluetooth, allowing players to switch tones and control effects hands-free while performing.

The controller offers three operating modes: Patch Mode, FX Mode, and Custom Mode. Patch Mode allows players to switch between five patches stored on the BEAM amplifier, while FX Mode allows players to turn individual effects on or off using the footswitches. Custom Mode offers even greater flexibility, enabling users to customize the control layout through the dedicated BEAM app to suit their playing style.

Measuring just 212 mm wide and weighing approximately 220 g, the BEAM Control features a slim, lightweight design. Its built-in rechargeable battery provides approximately 12 hours of continuous operation and supports convenient USB-C charging. With no cables to get in the way, it offers comfortable, hassle-free operation for everything from practice sessions to live performances.

The BEAM Control takes the versatility of the BEAM series even further. With convenient foot control over patch switching and effects, it's an essential accessory for BEAM users looking to get the most out of their amplifiers. Be sure to check it out!
