Keeley Manis Iconic Overdrive Pedal

Available from Gear4Music at £209.00 ($265).

The Keeley Manis is Robert Keeleys take on one of the most famous overdrive circuits ever invented. The mythical original circuit is known for its transparency and high headroom allowing for more natural and open overdriven tones. The Manis nails the sound of the fabled original while evolving the design slightly to offer more versatility. Switchable clipping options lets you toggle between germanium diodes and a germanium transistor for increased saturation and more valve-like compression. The Bass+ switch also allows you to increase your low end presence by 3dB to deliver enhanced bass response. Each Manis is handmade in Oklahoma to deliver the usual Keeley quality. With a choice between True Bypass or Buffered Bypass you can even run it on 18V for more headroom giving you greater flexibility over how to use the Manis to wrangle the exact tones you want out of it.
