Collection: Manlay Sound

Behind the Manlay Sound there’s a well respected Spanish musician from Barcelona: Román Gil Romero. His love and passion for music, musicians, sounds and gear evolved into him building himself the pedals he loved and dreamed to play through.

It all began years ago, when Román was just a teenager and he started to build his first models as a hobby. They were made for self use. He learned with each pedal he made while he was discovering the secrets of the electronics. There was a fuzz face, a foxx tone machine, a booster. Little by little Román's clones became famous among guitar players. The quality of his stompboxes didn't need any marketing since everyone that had tried them could only say great things about them. He started to produce more often and improve his technique until 2009, when he decided to create Manlay Sound LTD, his own company.

All the models are fully handmade. All transistors are hand selected and each pedal is individually tuned and tested for optimum sound and performance.
