Main Features
●
Overall Routing & Junction Box Functions
With its IN/OUT and SND/RTN connectors, the STV-1JB System Tuner can
function as a routing system that provides overall pedal system muting while
tuning. It can also function as a junction box and splitter.
(a) Splitter
The STV-1JB functions as an active splitter when the built-in VITALIZER circuit is
turned ON and output is taken in parallel from the SND and OUT connectors. This is
ideal when you want to use two amplifiers simultaneously, when you need a dry
signal in addition to the “wet” signal to which effects have been added, when you
want to send a signal to an amplifier and mixing console at the same time, and more.
(b) Easy-to-use Layout
The connector layout has been specifically designed for maximum space efficiency
and ease-of-use when the STV-1JB is used in a pedal board.
●
VITALIZER
The Providence VITALIZER has become an indispensable part of many professional
pedal board systems. It is an active impedance converter that prevents
degradation of the instrument signal and makes it more resistant to noise even after
passing through multiple jacks, contact points, and cables, all while retaining the
instrument’s natural tone. A VZ THRU switch allows the VITALIZER circuit to be
bypassed in situations where a fully passive true-bypass signal path is required.
●
Overall Mute for Series-connected Pedal Systems
Because tuners are normally placed first in a pedal chain, their mute function
mutes the signal before it is sent to subsequent pedals. When a pedal system is
connected to the STV-1JB SND/RTN loop the tuner becomes the first component
in the pedal chain, as usual, but muting occurs right at the end the pedal chain to
completely shut off any residual noise or spurious reverb signals when not actually
playing.
●
Ultra-precise, High-visibility KORG Pitchblack Advance Tuner Built In
When the footswitch is pressed to activate the tuner, the audio signal is muted so
that tuning can be carried out without sending any signal or noise to the amplifier.
When the tuner is switched off, the tuner and signal circuits are completely isolated
by a relay switch so that digital noise cannot affect the audio signal.
●
DC9 ~ 18V Power Supply Output
The power supply connected to the DC IN jack can be supplied to a second
device or multiple devices via the DC OUT jack. The DC IN supply voltage range is
from 9V to 18V, and the same voltage is available at the DC OUT jack. If a fault or
short occurs in any cable or device connected to the DC OUT jack, an internal
overcurrent protection circuit will prevent damage to the AC adapter or other
external power supply used. The overcurrent protection circuit recovers
automatically when the fault has been corrected.
●
006P Battery Power
As an alternative to external power, the STV-1JB can be powered from an internal
006P 9V battery that also retains tuner calibration and mode settings.
