Note Display

When a single note is input, the name of the nearest note is displayed here.

DC IN Jack

An external power supply (AC adapter) connects here. The STV-1JB 

accepts input voltages from 9V DC to 18V DC. Use a voltage regulated power supply 

with a center-negative (            ) plug.

IN Jack

This is the audio input jack. Connect your guitar or bass here.

VZ THRU Switch

This switch determines whether the internal VITALIZER circuit is 

inserted into the signal path or bypassed. Set the switch to “VZ” to insert the VITALIZER 

into the signal path. When set to “THRU” the VITALIZER circuit is bypassed and the unit’s 

true bypass circuit is engaged so that the IN signal is connected directly to the OUT jack.

OUT Jack

The OUT (output) jack connects to the input of your amplifier, mixer, or 

similar device. The STV-1JB mute circuit is located immediately before the OUT jack so 

that muting always occurs after any effects connected between the SND (send) and 

RTN (return) jacks, completely shutting off any residual noise while tuning.

RTN Jack

The RTN (return) jack receives the output from any effect units fed by the 

unit’s SND (send) jack.

DISP Switch

The DISP switch is used to change tuner display modes.

 

(refer to 

“Tuning” -> “Display Modes”

 for details)

CALIB Switch

The CALIB switch is used to calibrate the tuner.

 

(refer to

“Tuning” -> “Calibration”

 for details)

SND Jack

The SND (send) jack connects to the input of the first or only effect unit in 

an effect chain to be connected into the STV-1JB SND/RTN loop.

DC OUT Jack

The voltage from a power supply connected to the DC IN jack is 

output via this jack. The DC OUT jack (            ) can be connected to the power input 

jack of a separate effect unit. The voltage input at the DC IN jack (9V ~ 18V DC) is 

output via the DC OUT jack without modification, so it is important to check the power 

input specifications of any secondary device(s) being powered via this jack.

The DC OUT jack cannot be used to power a second device when the STV-1JB is 

being powered by an internal battery.

CAUTION!

The output voltage from the DC OUT jack cannot be adjusted. The voltage from an external AC 

adapter/power supply connected to the DC IN jack is output via the DC OUT jack unchanged. Be sure to 

use a power supply that is suitable for any external effect units that are to be powered from the STV-1JB 

DC OUT jack. The maximum total power output capacity of the STV-1JB DC OUT jack is 1.5 amps. Be 

sure not to exceed this value.

When the DC OUT jack is to be used to power external devices, the AC adapter/power supply 

connected to the DC IN jack should have a power output capacity that is approximately twice the total 

power consumption of the device(s) to be powered.

Example: If the total power consumption of all devices to be powered is 500mA (500 milliamps), an AC 

adapter/power supply that can deliver 1A (1 amp) should be used. The STV-1JB DC OUT circuit features 

overcurrent protection*2 that will prevent damage to the connected AC adapter/power supply if a short 

or other fault occurs in a cable or device connected to the DC OUT jack. The overcurrent protection 

circuit will recover automatically when the fault is corrected.

*2 The overcurrent protection circuit is activated when a continuous output current of greater than 1.5 

amps is detected.

About the VITALIZER

The Providence VITALIZER circuit is an active low-impedance converter that makes audio 

signals more resistant to noise and prevents signal degradation that can occur when audio 

passes through cables and switch contacts. The VITALIZER circuit is most effective when used 

with instruments that have passive pickups, but it can help reject spurious noise with active 

pickups as well.
