Mantic builds its pedals by hand in die-cast enclosures with hand-etched PCBs, true-bypass switching, and Neutrik/Switchcraft jacks. The lineup includes the Hulk subharmonic synth, the Flex and Flex Pro synth-fuzz, the Vitriol distortion, the Proverb reverb, the Pendulum analog tremolo, the Hivemind, and the THUG. The company has also produced custom and signature pieces, including the Isaiah delay built for Ikey Owens of Jack White's touring band, and a Third Man Records edition of the Flex.

The brand drew early attention from prominent players: Adrian Belew (King Crimson, Nine Inch Nails) has been seen using the Master Flex synth-fuzz live, helping put Mantic on the map among guitarists looking for less conventional tools.
