ProAnalog Devices Manticore Overdrive V2 2018

No sales tax for customers outside California.  

The ProAnalog Devices Manticore V2 is a boutique overdrive that blends classic amp-style breakup with a uniquely aggressive voice, making it a favorite among players who want more edge than a standard low-gain pedal. Hand-built in the USA by Scotty Smith, the Manticore V2 features an updated circuit from the original, delivering increased headroom, tighter low end, and improved touch sensitivity. With controls for Volume, Gain, Tone, and Presence, it allows players to go from gritty boost to saturated, harmonically rich overdrive that responds beautifully to pick attack and guitar volume.

This example is in excellent condition and fully functional, with no mods and minimal cosmetic wear. The original box and paperwork are included.

Known for its clarity even at high gain, the Manticore V2 has earned a reputation as a secret weapon for blues, rock, and worship players seeking an articulate, amp-pushing overdrive.

ProAnalog Devices, known for hand-built, vintage-inspired circuits, first released the Manticore as a more aggressive alternative to transparent drives like the Klon. The V2 refined the original design, adding more headroom and flexibility. While not tied to one iconic player, it has become a favorite among session musicians and tone chasers.
