The Keeley Manis Overdrive uniquely combines both germanium NOS transistors and diodes for more compression and saturation plus a 3db bass-boost makes it unlike any other mythical Klone!
$199.00
Keeley pens the next chapter in the legend of the mythical Klone with several storied upgrades and features. First up is the germanium diode switch. The “essential” germanium diodes are at the heart of the myth. By substituting essential germanium diodes with germanium transistors (circa Cold War era) we increase the compression and saturation of the tone. The Manis can give you a softer attack that sounds more like a tube amp. Less ice-pick, more tube amp. This feels incredible under your fingertips too. Wouldn’t you like to hear a little more of the natural low end from your guitar? The bass boost switch lowers the cutoff by exactly one octave and increases the output by +3dB. It’s the perfect low end recovery and push for single coil guitars. True Bypass or Buffered Silent Switching on the fly. The Manis is built like a tank and is the first klone you can power with 18 volts. The Manis is a Hard Clipping ‘clean boost’ that has been updated and modernized with our power supply improvements as well as other mind bending fixes to the inherent tonal problems of the original circuit.
SPECIFICATIONS ARE BELOW THE PHOTO GALLERY
The Manis is Hard Clipping “clean boost” using Russian transistors as germanium diodes
Ge-Trans Switch – Diodes or Transistors – Huge difference in feel with increased saturation and tube like compression
The Bass+ Switch – Lowers the frequency response by one octave and then pushes 3dB harder
True-Bypass or Buffered Bypass/silent Switching – Whichever works and sounds best in your rig.
Germanium is a rare earth metal. The Manis has both germanium diodes and transistors, significantly increasing the chances of making rarified music.
The Manis Overdrive lets you fatten your bottom end in a sensible way.
The Keeley Manis Overdrive allows you to quickly switch between either mode. Having a great buffer will make your rig sound strong and clear even when the pedal is off. Buffered switching prevents the pops and clicks of true-bypass switching. If you want to turn on true-bypass, simply press and hold the foot switch for two seconds. Holding the switch for two seconds toggle between modes. True Bypass is great if a buffer might affect the tone of a vintage pedal. Enjoy truly silent switching and a better sounding rig with Keeley’s buffered switching mode.

Keeley Electronics stands behind every pedal they have ever made or modded. Every new pedal includes a two-year parts and labor warranty, and even beyond that, we’re happy to help get your effects back in working order should anything go wrong. These are stompboxes after all. They get stomped on, beer spilled on them and all kinds of other crazy things. There may be a cost associated with repairs beyond the warranty – or if serious damage was done – but they always keep that cost as low as they can.
Feel free to be as specific as you like in your inquiry, or you can wait until we respond.
