Keeley Electronics Manis
The Manis is Keeley Electronics' interpretation of the Klon Centaur overdrive, built with germanium diode and transistor switching plus a dedicated bass boost switch. Premier Guitar's reviewer rated it 4.5 out of 5, noting that the germanium clipping and bass options provide notable tonal flexibility while maintaining accuracy to the original Klon character, though darker settings can become cloudy.
