CIOKS DC7 Pedal Power Supply, Limited Edition Red (Gear Hero HQ Exclusive)

1. Low profile, so fits under my Pedaltrain board nicely 2. High power output, so good even for power hungry pedals 3. Voltage is switchable for each, not just on a few ports I originally bought this to put a Helix HX Stomp on my board (which requires a separate cable). Fantastic, one of the best IMO.

I Did need to make or buy some of the cables I needed to run some of my gear (ie current doubler cable to run my PodGo via 2 power outputs) these arent included in the pack so check what you need.

So I definitely feel that after I buy my next pedal Ill have to buy a new pack of cables. But the supply itself is awesome. Best of the best.

Dont Skimp on your pedalboard power brick!!! This replaces a battery-backup Power Brick with limited Amperage considerations - good for what it was, but not all pedalboard pedals were accommodated as required. The CIOKS DC7 7 Isolated DC Outlets Power Supply is amazing. It powers the TC Helicon Mic Mechanic and Harmony Singer 2 and the vocals are cleaner - crisper. The ToneDEC and JamMan Looper and other pedals have similar praise for increased performance. I am completely satisfied with the CIOKS DC7.

After using two other power supplies, I tried the CIOKS DC7 because of the variety of voltages it offered and the compact size. Because of these features I was able to mount the DC7 underneath my pedalboard, saving valuable space, enabling me to mount and power my 2 channel mixer on the board. An added bonus is the power cord is a standard cord, not the usual flimsy wall wart type. I definitely recommend the CIOKS DC7 without reservation.

My pedalboard was getting noisy with my old power supply. And I needed an upgrade. The DC7 looked perfect on paper, but was it worth the money? I debated long and hard and talked myself into ordering. In hindsight, there should not have been a debate. Its perfect. I have clean and noiseless power for all of my pedals, even in this old house. A lot of supplies could probably provide the same. But I really like the size. This is thin enough to fit under my Pedal Train Metro with room to spare. It came with a template and screws so it is solidly mounted under there. I also like the power gauge that tells me I have room to spare in the power availability (and if I need to down the line, this can be expanded with a DC4, I believe). The cables that came with it had everything I needed. But I do expect Ill need to pick up more cables as I add pedals. They appear cheap enough, so its not really a concern. In the end, Im quite happy. All of my pedals are quiet now. But this actually made my overdrive pedal sound better (maybe it was underpowered before). I would highly recommend the DC7. And I would definitely buy this again... Without the debate next time.

I originally was using a Donner power supply, but one day my BOSS pedal that was plugged into it. Stopped working? I couldn’t figure out what happened? I tried to fix the pedal, but no matter what I did, it just wouldn’t work anymore. After doing research. I found out the Donner power supply does not offer isolated power. It’s basically a daisy chain, so I figured somehow the power supply fried my pedal. I didn’t want to risk damage to any other pedal, that’s when I researched other better pedal power supplies. After a lot of research I went with the Cioks. Just for a laugh I decided to plug my broken BOSS pedal, and to my shock it worked again! It was like the Cioks gave it the jolt it needed. I also noticed all my other pedals seem to sound stronger like they too are getting more power. I’m am very happy with Cioks. I know it cost a lot, but as they say buy once, cry once. Save your pedals and yourself some headaches, and buy the Cioks. You won’t regret it.

I used the screw template and mounted it under my pedaltrain metro 24 and it does not touch the ground, which was my biggest concern before the purchase. I have 9 pedals linked to it and there’s no noise and no power issues

Fits perfectly under pedaltrain nano plus! Lightweight and easy to mount. Only wish it had a few more outputs , maybe 8 or 9 Had to get a Gigrig isolator which takes 9v in and gives out 4 more isolated 9v outputs . But overall good unit .

I think this is the future of pedal power supplies. Low profile, light, quiet, isolated, all outlets switchable, not made China. More flexibility than Truetone, less costly than Styrmon. The one peculiarity is special cables with RCA plugs on one end. While this doesnt cause a problem, it doesnt solve one, either. Just be aware that you may need to buy some extra cables since the cables used by every other power supply in the universe will not work with CIOKS. But the CIOKS cables are cheap and readily available. By the way, its also expandable with the DC4 unit which adds 4 more outputs but chains itself to the DC7 so you still only have to deal with one AC plug. Very nice.
