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 specifically designed to be used with a passive-pickup bass.
With the VITALIZER™ BF connected in the closest position from the guitar or bass, it tightens up the bottom end that is tend to be blurred.
●
With the VITALIZER™ BF connected before the pedalboard system or a long instrument cable, it can significantly reduce noise while improving overall effect
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 for use with volume or wah pedals, effectively preventing signal quality degradation and loss for 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 of the source bass guitar, electronic instrument, or effect unit connects
here.
②OUT: Output jack.
The output from this jack connects to the input of other effect device or pedal system.
③DC 9V:
The DC output cable of the supplied Outer Battery Box or an optional AC adaptor
can be plugged in here. The power source used must supply a maximum of 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 functions as a battery health indicator. When the unit is being powered from
the supplied battery box the LED will begin to dim rapidly if the battery voltage drops
below approximately 7 volts, indicating that operation and sound quality may be
impaired. The device will still produce output for a while after the LED begins to dim,
but to ensure maximum performance the battery should be replaced with a new one as
soon as possible.
* If the VITALIZER™ BF is connected to the input of a vintage or vintage-style fuzz pedal the impedance of the VITALIZER™ BF output can result in higher
than normal fuzz gain. If this is a problem simply connect the VITALIZER™ BF after the fuzz pedal.

Caution
●
When connected to an amp and speaker with the power turned on, do not insert or remove plugs in the input or output jacks. Doing so may cause sufficient noise to
damage the speaker.
●
If the pedal should fail to work or if it works abnormally, please contact the place of purchase or Pacifix Ltd.
●
The outer battery box has a switch to turn on/off the pedal. Please make sure to turn it off to save battery when the pedal is not used.
●
An AC adaptor with a regulator circuit is recommended.
■
Troubleshooting
●
If the indicator LED does not light: Replace the battery with a new one or connect an appropriate AC adaptor.
