PROVIDENCE / VFB-1

A clean booster equipped with PROVIDENCE's proud VITALIZER.

■Guitar Effects Pedal
■Combination pedal combining the VITALIZER with the FINAL BOOSTER (FB)
■Control: BOOST
■Jacks: 1/4-inch standard phone jack (input, output)
　DC9V input jack (AC adapter jack)
■Power Supply: 9V battery (1), AC adapter
■Power Consumption: DC9V approx. 14mA (effect ON)
■VITALIZER? is a type of buffer amplifier that converts high-impedance electrical signals, which are susceptible to noise and sound quality changes caused by plug/jack contacts and long cables, into low-impedance signals that are less susceptible to such effects. It is an active impedance converter that incorporates Providence's unique design to avoid excessive hi-fidelity, taking into account the signal characteristics of instruments such as guitars/basses and effects.
■FINAL BOOSTER is a full-range booster that prioritizes sound quality. It can control the level of the sound, which has been reduced to low impedance by the preceding VITALIZER? circuit, by up to 20dB (approximately 10 times the audible level). The unique switching method only turns the boost volume function on/off and always passes through the boost circuit, so the tone remains almost unchanged even when the boost is increased significantly.
