Keeley just announced the MANIS, a Klon clone with a few extras. The first is a a two-position toggle switch for selecting either germanium diodes (an essential part of the classic transparent overdrive tone) or Keeley’s carefully selected germanium transistors in the pedal’s circuitry. The two settings are said to provide different sounds and feel. The second is a bass boost switch which lowers the cutoff by a full octave and provides a +3dB output boost. And you can choose True Bypass or Buffered Silent Switching on the fly.

Sweetwater has it right now for $199

Josh at JHS has Robert Keeley as a guest to talk about it for an hour, and demo its features and A-B it to a Klon pedal.
