Keeley Manis Overdrive

Keeley Manis Overdrive

The Keeley Manis Overdrive takes the legendary Klon-style circuit and elevates it with modern enhancements and unparalleled versatility. Engineered with serious players in mind, this pedal features both premium germanium diodes and Cold War-era germanium NOS transistors, allowing you to sculpt your tone with varying levels of compression and saturation. From a pristine clean boost to a rich, tube-like overdrive, the Manis offers a dynamic and touch-sensitive feel that truly sets it apart, delivering a nuanced and complex harmonic character.

Built with meticulous attention to detail in Oklahoma City, USA, the Manis boasts a rock-solid construction designed for professional musicians. It incorporates a Bass+ switch that adds a substantial +3dB boost to the low end while lowering the cutoff by one octave, perfect for filling out the sound of single-coil guitars or simply adding more punch. The pedal’s flexible switching options include selectable True Bypass or Buffered Silent Switching, ensuring seamless integration into any rig and preserving your signal integrity, even over long cable runs.

Further enhancing its adaptability, the Keeley Manis Overdrive can operate at 18 volts, providing increased headroom and dynamic range for an open, articulate sound. This thoughtful design ensures that the pedal responds to every nuance of your playing, making it an inspiring tool for refining your studio sound or delivering impactful performances on stage.
