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.

Added 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) Keeley 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. 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 modernised with our power supply improvements as well as other mind bending fixes to the inherent tonal problems of the original circuit.

• Essential Diodes accounted for delivering familiar boosted & overdriven tones
• Switchable NOS Transistors improve feel, saturation, gain range, & mid character that haters will love
• Switchable Low End Recovery for single coils
• 18V compatible for additional headroom & more robust power supply configurations
• True-Bypass or Silent Buffered-Bypass, switchable on-the-fly
