Thermion Freeway Preamp Analog Interface Amplifier

Freeway is a compact, pedal-sized DI guitar amplifier and recording interface that delivers warm, dynamic, and authentic analogue tones wherever you play. Perfect for live shows, rehearsals or capturing your ideas in the studio or on the road, Freeway offers full stereo capability with an open and flexible signal path.

Main Features

• Pedal-sized analogue interface amplifier with robust build quality
• Stereo Analog Speaker Modelling engine for detailed speaker emulation
• Full stereo effects loop for flexible effects integration
• Preamp loop to replace the internal preamp with external preamps
• Eight stereo reverb types including chapel, plate, hall, room, church, reverse and gated reverbs
• USB recording interface compatible with PC, iOS, and Android
• Standard 9V negative centre pedal power supply
• Hand-assembled in Spain with aerospace-grade aluminium casing for durability and premium feel

Designed to seamlessly integrate all your effects, overdrives, modulations and preamps into one versatile pedalboard, Freeway functions as both an amplifier and a studio interface. Compatible with PC, iOS and Android devices, its USB connectivity allows effortless recording and playing alongside backing tracks.

Experience the pristine stereo Analog Speaker Modelling engine, offering detailed and warmly voiced speaker emulations that you can customise. You can also bypass the speaker emulation to pair Freeway with external speaker modellers or power amps for total tonal control.

Create lush soundscapes using eight rich stereo reverbs and expand your tonal palette through the preamp loop, allowing an external preamp to act as a second channel. The stereo effects loop enhances the use of multiple effects pedals, providing a wide creative canvas.
