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

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.

Compact and versatile.

compact

RCA connector to each output on the power brick is a great design. Easy to understand and configure for each device. Fairly small size. Im very happy.

Its expandable, but each port has a ton of different power options, even for power-hungry digital pedals.

You get what you pay for and this thing rocks. I have no worries having my pedals powered by this power supply.

Great Power Supply, Excellent Service

I’m late to the power supply party. For ten years I ran a daisy chain from a one spot. Yeah, I’m cheap! But after watching multiple reviews of the Cioks power supply systems, I pulled the trigger and bought the DC7. Best decision I have made in years. Instead of splurging on an expensive pedal, buy a powerful power supply!

This is hands down the best power supply on the market. And if you buy the Cioks grip you dont even have to drill holes in your pedalboard. Fits under the pedaltrain metro 24, 20 and 16 perfectly. If you need power options that are not included Cioks has different flex cables for any situation. Not all are included though.

Greatest power supply EVER! (In fairness, I think the Strymon Zuma is basically the same tech) I cant tell you how many pedals Ive either ruined or written off as garbage because I apparently didnt understand how electricity works. :). If you use pedals, 90% of noise issues are because of power. STOP WHAT YOURE DOING! Just buy one of the CIOKS units. The headaches that it will prevent or fix are worth its weight in gold. Not having to worry about extra noise or finding the right transformer is saving me so much time and energy... It is honestly the best piece of gear I own (after my guitar and Boomerang pedal). As for which CIOK model... Ive researched them all pretty well and the DC7 is the best overall unit. 600ma per output will handle almost anything. Unless you just have a bunch of analog pedals (dont require more than 100ma) or if you know your exact power needs, the DC7 will cover you for almost anything. Im a real boy, not a paid actor. Seriously, this Im not getting paid or work for them or anything.
