Keeley pens the next chapter
in the legend of the mythical Klone with the Manis Overdrive. The
essential germanium diodes are at the heart of the myth and faithfully
deliver iconic tones but that’s far from where the story ends. Toggle to
swap in cold-war era germanium transistors for more sustain,
saturation, and tube-like response that you can really feel under your
fingertips. Maintain character and punch, dial down the upper-mid honk.
Need more low-end? A dedicated bass boost switch lowers the cutoff an
octave and adds 3dB, ideal for single coil low-end recovery. Built tough
and uniquely capable of running on 18V for more headroom, a true first
of its kind. The Manis is a modernized voltage-doubled hard clipping
boost for purists & converts alike.
- The Manis is a voltage-doubled Hard Clipping “clean boost”
- 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 best for your rig
