How to Choose a Pedalboard Power Supply: Voodoo Lab, Cioks, Strymon & More 

CIOKS DC7. Great power and excellent size. The perfect power supply

Thanks for the video! I recently picked up a Mission Engineering 529i battery powered supply for a small board I needed. It’s been really great. I can power eight pedals and it has a USB power output. Highly recommended. Very quiet.

Have a bunch and love my Strymon Zuma the best.

Using the Cioks DC10 and i love it. its powerfull, never led me down quiet AF and pretty small. fits perfectly under any (angeld) pedalboard. Its even powering my Korg MicroKorg and my 10 pedals. it just works!

I use Truetone 1Spot CS12 and CS7 power supplies, i did some research a few years ago and these seemed to be professional quality and still provide a lot of power for their price, at least cheaper than most other professional brand products with similar features. Downside: they're quite big but since i build my own boards i just make them fit.

I eneded up woith the cs6 because it was easy to mount under my pedal train nano but i love how small and powerful the mini mxr iso brick is

I remember when 1-Spot was made by Visual Sound (I still have their tap delay too, the single not the dual as that wouldn’t fit on my board.)

I've been using 4 Strymon Zuma's for years and never had any problems... Expensive, but worth it...

I use the MXR Iso-brick. Plenty of power and quiet as a mouse.

Want to get rid of the noise in your power supply and not break the bank? Then the MXR ISO-Brick and Mini are the best bang for the buck. The DC Brick however is not good, you might as well be running a daisy chain. I started off with the DC and once I tried the ISO there was no turning back. Very small footprint compared to other isolated units and plenty of juice for a lot of pedals.

Very incomplete information re: MXR. The DC brick is very old - it got a facelift with the new bare metal Enclosure. ISO brick and mini brick are not merely bigger and smaller options, they are different in that they are isolated power supplies.

I like rechargeable power supplies like Sanyo Pedal Juice. I think I might try the Mission Engineering 529i.

While it is the case that CIOKS is a Danish company, contrary to what is stated in this video, the CIOKS DC7 is made in Poland (@danielrios4280 stated this below, 10 months ago). Something of interest is that the Eventide PowerMax is made by CIOKS, and has almost the same spec...but ofc the Eventide brand is used to inflate the retail price of the pedal above that of the CIOKS DC7; at least it does so in the UK.

I love my Voodoo 2 Plus, but the only downside is that you need to use 2 ports if you want 18v. Otherwise you have the option of 9v or 12v (12v toggle is on the bottom of the unit.) Otherwise it's great. Quiet and powerful.

I really expected to dee this co-hosted by The Rig Doctor. It is a great video & I appreciate the information.

Its Ojai ( O - hi ) like the city in California 🤭

do you put the power under/near drives or digital to have less noise as possible?

Think to buy power supply after this but i'm not Sure which One is more better between Strymon Zuma, Walrus and Voodoo Lab....

Cioks all day

What happens if 9v pedal goes into 12v power supply slot (joyo) ? Sorry, newbie here.

You completely blew over the Cioks expandability with the DC4 and DC8

I use a cioks schizophrenic. Great value

Can i use dc7 to power strymon pedals? Or do i have to use thier p.s.?

Linear vs switch?

Hmm the cioks got glossed over and the strymon got pushed hard …. Huh cioks has more ma per , a meter , and a smaller profile …

Cheap 1's dont work. Uh huh. I been using a Caline P-1 for 4-5 yrs now. Powering anywhere up to 16 pedals using 3- 3 out daisies that actually only use 2 of the outs keeping the inused out capped until needed. 1 at each end and 1 in the middle. Have the 18v split between 2 pedals. Only noisy pedal is a bias knob modded older Butler Tube Driver that could be noisy by inself sitting on the shelf. ( Joking there) Paid only $33 for my power unit but have seen it for $25. Do I think this 1's the best ? Not really ,I just feel lucky cause reviews say its noisy unreliable and just plain junk. But going on 5 yrs used to be constantly gigging and really not changing pedals much anymore. This 1 has proven to me to be just right for MY SYSTEM. What happens for anyone else? Who knows

Hey reverb stop hoarding MIJ mustang basses in fiesta red.

Imagine not using a harley benton ISO-series

Ojai is pronounced O-Hi.

CIOKS are made in Poland....not Denmark.....POLAND...... JUST SAY MADE IN EUROPE.......
