XSONIC AIRSTEP Smart MIDI Controller Footswitch For Blackstar Beam Mini & Solo

AIRSTEP BST Edition is a dedicated wireless foot controller for the Blackstar BEAM MINI and BEAM SOLO, giving you hands-free access to all five presets, individual effects, tap tempo and the tuner without any MIDI setup. Compact, rugged and completely cable-free, it turns your portable BEAM rig into a powerful, performance-ready system for practice, recording and live use.

Connecting automatically to your BEAM via Bluetooth, AIRSTEP BST Edition delivers instant control through five footswitches and clear LED feedback, all without needing a phone or tablet on stage. With both Preset and Effect modes available at a tap, you can jump between complete sounds or tweak individual effects on the fly, keeping your hands on your instrument and your focus on your playing.

Hands-Free Control For BEAM MINI And BEAM SOLO

AIRSTEP BST Edition is purpose-built for Blackstar BEAM MINI and BEAM SOLO, so there is no MIDI programming, mapping or menu diving to worry about. Power it on, let it connect automatically, and you are ready to switch presets, toggle effects, set tempo and access the tuner directly under your feet. It is an effortless way to unlock the full potential of your BEAM without changing the way you like to play.

Preset And Effect Modes With Real-Time Feedback

Two dedicated operating modes keep your control layout clear and intuitive. Preset Mode gives you direct access to all five onboard presets, ideal for moving between songs or sections with complete tone changes. Effect Mode lets you switch Filter/Comp, Drive/Fuzz, Modulation, Delay and Reverb individually, as well as set tap tempo and navigate presets. In both modes, synchronised LEDs show you which preset is active, which effects are engaged and the current tempo, so you always know where you are mid-performance.

Fully Wireless And Built For Portability

With wireless communication and a built-in rechargeable battery offering up to 300 hours of operation, AIRSTEP BST Edition keeps your setup clean and clutter-free. There is no control cable between the controller and your BEAM, and no need for a constant external power supply for the footswitch. The compact extruded aluminium enclosure is designed to handle regular transport and use in rehearsal rooms, studios and on stage.

Dual Expression Pedal Support

Two expression pedal inputs add another level of control to your BEAM rig. Use them to shape AMP volume and gain in real time for swells, subtle level tweaks or dynamic changes in saturation. The control automatically adapts to the selected AMP model, so there is no manual assignment to set up. Combined with preset and effect switching, this gives you a far more expressive, hands-free way to perform with your BEAM.
