Onboard you get over 35 built‑in effects, multiple amp and cab models, the patented ISF control for shaping tone from American to British style voicings, and intuitive hardware controls including a SpeedDial knob and dynamic Light Beam display for real‑time tweaking.

Whether you’re playing electric, bass, or acoustic, the BEAM SOLO helps you go from quiet bedroom practice to expressive recording with ease.
