Walkway Electronics Dream Drive

The Walkway Electronics Dream Drive is an overdrive boost pedal from Walkway Electronics, a builder based in Indianapolis, Indiana. It sits in the territory covered by Overdrive Pedals and Boost Pedals: a single compact unit that can push an amp or add a layer of grit in front of it. Pedal of the Day described it as "a staple overdrive/boost that will fit perfectly onto any pedalboard"¹.

What it does

The controls work like this:

• Drive controls the dirt the Dream Drive produces, from a transparent clean boost to mild or medium overdriven tones, with prominent second harmonics and, in the reviewer's words, "gorgeous sustain for days"¹.
• Tone smoothly glides between your high and low EQ frequencies, with a nice range of variation to experiment with¹.
• Volume sets the overall output¹.

At the low end of the Drive control, the pedal works as a clean boost; turned up, it moves into mild and medium overdrive. That range makes it a candidate for players who want one pedal to cover both jobs, rather than carrying a dedicated boost and a separate drive¹.

What reviewers said

Pedal of the Day's review, published on 24 November 2017, summed the pedal up this way¹:

The reviewer's verdict was that the circuit sounds great despite its simple controls and design¹.
