Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

Keeley’s Manis is an all-analog overdrive and boost pedal built around Drive, Tone, and Level controls, with two selectable clipping approaches. The Ge-Trans switch moves between germanium diodes and germanium transistors, while Bass+ shifts the frequency response down an octave for additional low-end emphasis. Choose true bypass or silent buffered bypass to suit the signal path. Its compact aluminum enclosure and 9–18 VDC operation make it a practical pedalboard addition.

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Pedalboards that need a choice of true or silent buffered bypass.

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Players who require a pedal that can operate from a battery.
