Keeley Manis Overdrive: A Modern Evolution of Mystic K Overdrive

The Keeley Manis Overdrive represents a significant advancement in the realm of transparent overdrive pedals. Building upon the legacy of the iconic Klon Centaur, the Manis introduces innovative features that enhance tonal versatility and performance.

Innovative Features

• Dual Clipping Modes: The Manis offers a toggle switch to select between NOS germanium diodes and germanium transistors. The diode setting delivers the classic Klon-inspired tone, while the transistor mode provides increased compression and saturation, resulting in a smoother, tube-like response.

• Bass+ Toggle Switch: Addressing the common desire for enhanced low-end response, the Bass+ switch boosts bass frequencies by +3dB and lowers the cutoff by an octave. This feature is particularly beneficial for single-coil pickups, adding depth and fullness to the tone. 

• Selectable Bypass Modes: The Manis offers both True Bypass and Buffered Silent Switching. Buffered mode ensures signal clarity and eliminates switching noise, while True Bypass maintains the purest signal path, catering to various rig configurations. 

• 18V Operation: Unlike many overdrive pedals, the Manis can operate at 18 volts, providing increased headroom and dynamic range for a more responsive playing experience.
