The Vitalizer WV by Providence, model VZW-1, is an active impedance converter designed to enhance sound quality when using a passive-pickup guitar with wah or volume pedals. It converts high impedance signals, which are prone to degradation and noise, into low impedance signals, preserving the original sound quality.

(AC adaptor jack)

Use Cases:
The Vitalizer WV is particularly effective when placed next to wah or volume
pedals, minimizing tonal changes and signal degradation. It can be positioned
at the last position before the amp or the first position after the guitar to
control the signal with minimized degradation on pedals.
Design:
The pedal is designed in a small chassis (60x73mm), allowing it to be placed
in a small space on the pedalboard. It can be powered by a 9V battery or an AC
adaptor, providing flexibility in usage.
Functionality:
The Vitalizer WV actively converts high impedance signals to low impedance
signals, ensuring minimal degradation and noise pickup. It is designed to
deliver a natural, faithful instrument sound while respecting the character of
guitar and effect pedal signals.
Overall, the Vitalizer WV serves as an essential tool for maintaining sound quality and minimizing signal degradation when using passive-pickup guitars with wah or volume pedals.
