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
- Changing between diode and transistor clipping responses from one compact overdrive pedal.
- Single-coil guitar setups where the octave-lower Bass+ response is useful.
- 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.
