The Analog Amplifier Pedal That Could | Thermion Freeway - Demo and Review

Hey guys! Back for another video, this time talking about the fantastic Thermion Freeway. Per Thermion's words... "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 modellers 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." and after playing it heavily for the past month, I can agree that it's easily one of the best analog amplifier pedals in the market. It's very touch responsive and reacts very well to other pedals. In this video I'm using it with a J Rockett Squeegee compressor, Keeley Mk3 driver, Xotic EP Booster, Line 6 M5, Walrus Audio Mako D1 and R1 (both v2), all going directly into the Apollo.

* Disclaimer * * - while I am not being paid by Thermion for this video and am not required to say anything about the pedal or even make the video, I did get the pedal for free and am endorsed by them. Thanks again to José over at Thermion!
