Description
The Keeley Manis Overdrive is a modern take on the legendary Klon-style circuit, built with serious players in mind. Whether you're a gigging guitarist chasing touch-sensitive dynamics or someone refining their studio board, this pedal offers a unique spin. With NOS germanium transistors and diodes under the hood, the Manis delivers extra compression, warmth, and a fat, amp-like feel that sets it apart from standard Klone clones.
At its core, the Manis is a hard-clipping clean boost with switchable germanium diode and transistor modes, each offering a distinct tonal response-from classic bite to a smoother, saturated feel. The +3dB Bass+ switch brings back low-end punch, especially helpful for single coils or leaner-sounding guitars. Add in 18V operation, and you've got more headroom and dynamic range than your typical overdrive. It's also got true or buffered bypass with silent switching to fit seamlessly into any setup.
You'll feel how responsive and alive this pedal is under your fingers. The enclosure is rock-solid and built in the USA with real attention to detail, and every feature is designed with working musicians in mind. We stand behind it-this one's a true tone-shaper that earns a spot on any board.
