There are great flagship power supplies from Truetone, Voodoo Lab, Strymon and others, but the Cioks DC7 is up there with the best of them. Not only is it great performing, it is highly configurable for larger pedalboards, powering pedals with different voltages and currents. It is even expandable for those monster boards!
This is a quick run down of the features before I build a board with it in.

I did a lot of research to find the best out there and ended up buying TWO Cioks DC 7 (Reds)!

@cappmw 3 года назад

I have had no problems with mine, hopefully you'll be as pleased with your two!

@Gibson1976uk Год назад

I hope so :) I just ordered the smaller Cioks Sol :)

@kikko422 2 года назад

Not sure if I should get the DC-7 and just add on the expanders or get the cioks Ciokolate

@davidsvarrer8942 2 года назад

I'd have a chat with CIOKS themselves. I have known Poul Ciok since almost 30 years. He is professional. Dependable, and when I met him - he already then built those power supplies. SO what ever you buy from him, it'll work for you. What you may need to know is more like - do you need these power supplies physically with a distance between them, or do you have like 10, 12 or more pedals etc. close to one-another? If you have an entire board (one board), you'd likely want the Ciokolate. Otherwise you may need two or more DC-7's. But best of all - email them - the chap is great.

Hi sir.. This cioks is the best? How if this do comparation with voodoo lab or strymon? Even for playing live huge gig.

@cappmw 3 года назад

Hi, I haven’t tried the other power supplies so can’t really comment. However, the Cioks hasn’t let me down, has all the power options I need and you can expand it.

@davidsvarrer8942 2 года назад

Ciok's will not let you down. Others are also good - yeah - but - take it from me, Poul has been in this business for almost 30 years. He has integrity in his works. He always had.

I have a qtron+ which is 24v. would it be possible to connect 2 18v outputs into one 24v into the qtron?

@cappmw 2 года назад

Hi, you can combine two outputs, set each to 12v then use a flex lead that combines the two voltages to make 24v. I think the EHX is centre positive so you’ll need that flex connector. You can read more here: cioks.com/products/stack-flex-type-1-4-2pcs/ So I think you need the type 4 flex lead, just check your current power supply has the 5.5mm/2.5mm DC plug

@kyomaru7 2 года назад

Does the DC7 come with an American power cable? I've seen pictures of it with an European power cable, so does this mean we need to use an adapter?

@cappmw 2 года назад

I am 90% sure they put in one specific to the market you live in. I’m in the UK and I think I got one with a UK plug rather than a European plug. That said, the unit has an IEC female socket on it, so a normal PC power lead (often referred to as a kettle lead) from your market will work and they are very common and cheap.

@@cappmw Thanks man! I appreciate it. I tried to email Ciosk but I guess they are too busy lol

@kameel68 4 месяца назад

It just has 7 outputs, but is you daisychain your wah and distortion/fuzz pedals, it's enough.

@ryanholmberg 2 года назад

Does anyone know if one of these can power 3 elektron units (digitone, digitakt, octatrack) all at once?

@smrchk2133 10 месяцев назад

No you can’t. The digitakt needs 12V at 1A. Same for the digitone. The Octatrack MKI needs 6V DC at 3A. The octatrack MKII needs 12V at 2A. The Cioks DC7 provides no 6V option (to power an octa MKI). Plus it only outputs up to 500mA at 12V.
