OWNER’S MANUAL
Thank you for choosing Providence. In order to take full advantage of the product’s features and performance, please read this manual
thoroughly and keep it in a safe place for future reference.
■Main Features
● The VITALIZER™ BF is the Vitalizer™* that is speci ically designed to be used with a passive-pickup bass.
With the VITALIZER™ BF connected in the closest position rom the guitar or bass, it tightens up the bottom end that is tend to be blurred.
● With the VITALIZER™ BF connected be ore the pedalboard system or a long instrument cable, it can signi icantly reduce noise while improving overall e ect
response.
● The VVITALIZER™ BF brings more clarity in bottom end when it's used with a drop tuned guitar or 7/8 string guitar.
● The VITALIZER™ BF is also ideal or use with volume or wah pedals, e ectively preventing signal quality degradation and loss or a notable clearer, livelier sound.
■About the Vitalizer™
●The Vitalizer™ is an active impedance converter that effectively prevents signal quality changes or degradation, minimizes noise pickup, and delivers a
strong, vital signal to subsequent devices.
●High impedance signals that are susceptible to noise pickup and signal degradation caused by plug/jack connections and long cables are converted to a
robust low-impedance signal that is less affected by such problems.
●Providence has painstakingly designed the circuit to maintain the essential characteristics of the instruments and effects being used in the most natural
way possible, without creating an overly“hi-fi”sound.
■Controls and Connectors
①IN: Input jack.The output o the source bass guitar, electronic instrument, or e ect unit connects
here.
②OUT: Output jack.The output rom this jack connects to the input o other e ect device or pedal system.
③DC 9V:The DC output cable o the supplied Outer Battery Box or an optional AC adaptor
can be plugged in here. The power source used must supply a maximum o 10 VDC via
a 2.1mm center-negative power plug.
④ LED Indicator:Lights when an appropriate power source is properly connected to the DC9V jack. The
LED also unctions as a battery health indicator. When the unit is being powered rom
the supplied battery box the LED will begin to dim rapidly i the battery voltage drops
below approximately 7 volts, indicating that operation and sound quality may be
impaired. The device will still produce output or a while a ter the LED begins to dim,
but to ensure maximum per ormance the battery should be replaced with a new one as
soon as possible.
* I the VITALIZER™ BF is connected to the input o a vintage or vintage-style uzz pedal the impedance o the VITALIZER™ BF output can result in higher
than normal uzz gain. I this is a problem simply connect the VITALIZER™ BF a ter the uzz pedal.
