Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Finished in Black Gold, the Keeley Manis combines overdrive and boost functions in a compact all-analog pedal. Drive, Tone, and Level controls handle the main adjustment, with a Ge-Trans switch for choosing germanium diode or germanium transistor clipping. Bass+ lowers the frequency response by an octave, and the bypass can be set to true or silent buffered operation. It runs from 9–18 VDC in a 5 x 2.6 x 2.7-inch aluminum housing.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Switching between diode and transistor clipping responses without changing pedals.
- Single-coil guitar rigs that benefit from the Bass+ octave-lower frequency response.
- Pedalboards requiring either true bypass or silent buffered bypass.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players who need battery-powered operation.
