Thermion Freeway Analog Interface Amplifier

Taking all the elements of an amplifier and squishing them down into a box that can fit onto any pedalboard is a pretty amazing feat, and I always love when a new one comes through our shop. Several years ago, we reviewed an amazing piece of gear called the Zero Hybrid Amplifier, from our pals across the pond at Thermion. Today, they’re back with a smaller, more powerful amp-in-a-pedal, the Freeway, and we can’t wait to dive in and show what it can do…

Freeway is the DI guitar amplifier, speaker modeler and recording interface that lets you play live shows, rehearsals or record your ideas anywhere, always with warm, analog and dynamic tones. A tool in the size of a pedal, with full stereo capability and open signal path. It is specially designed to integrate all your effects, overdrives, modulations and preamps in a single all-road pedalboard. Freeway is an amplifier and also studio interface. You can record or play over backing tracks using your computer or phone thanks to its USB compatibility with PC, iOS and Android.

Discover its stereo Analog Speaker Modeling engine, a warm and detailed speaker emulation that you can customize, or pair Freeway with external speaker modelers or guitar power amps, bypassing the speaker emulation. Create complex atmospheres thanks to its eight stereo reverbs. Use your preamplifiers as a second channel through its preamp loop. Get the most out of your effects thanks to its stereo effects loop.

A realistic, tube sounding, portable DI guitar amplifier with reverb.

A portable tool to play live shows, band rehearsals or silently rehearsing in your home studio.

A portable solution for recording into your PC or mobile phone.

A platform to take full advantage of your stereo effects.

An amplifier that lets you easily integrate external preamps.

Pedal technology just keeps getting more and more impressive, and the Freeway Analog Interface Amplifier is a prime example of that. With so many routing options and ways to manipulate your clean signal, this is one powerful, expressive piece of gear, especially if you’re in need of a good travel rig. There’s a LOT more information available over on the Thermion website – be sure to head over there and see what it can do for you. We’ve got an in-depth demo video on our YouTube channel, too – be sure to check that out, and subscribe, as well – cheers!
