Does the Blackstar Beam Mini support NAM A2?

A2-Lite native

Yes — Blackstar Beam Mini runs NAM A2-Lite natively (not A2-Full).

⚠ Sources disagree. Same TONE3000 post shows both '$229' and '$229.99'.

Notes

Mini amp, native NAM with TONE3000 browsing via Beam app. Launch post (2026-05-05) called the embedded runtime 'A2-Nano'; GSUS4 notes TONE3000 later standardised the name as A2-Lite.
