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

Its sturdy. I think its the best in the market right now so i bought it.

Does everything you need

Compact and versatile.

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.

What does it do well……just about everything! Plenty of power (amperage) on each of the 7 ports. 4 voltage choices on each of the 7 ports. However you already know all this if you have researched this power supply. My opinion for what it’s worth, if you need what it offers get it. If the price is a factor my next recommendation is the MXR ISO Mini, the 5 port one. MXR offers a 10 port version also. I liked the mini because it actually offered more power per port. Back to the Cioks DC7. I think it’s the best out there. I like the RCA connectors at the ports on the DC7. Much better holding and more stable with a solid electrical connection. It came with all the connectors I needed including a + center cable for my Radial loopbone pedal. As far as reliability…we shall see.

Great Power Supply, Excellent Service

Exactly as advertised. It is quiet, well-built, and delivers. The cables supplied are appreciated though they do not supply cables, 8800 or 1002, that split or join. I had to order them from Sweetwater.com. Not expensive, just another task before getting things setup right. In all, a really nice product and I definitely recommend.

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 bought the Ernie Ball volt thinking it was going to work for me and then I realized it didnt have enough MA available. When you use strymon and Universal pedals you need a little more power. I love this unit because I can double up and maybe triple up on one input for pedals that dont need all the juice that the other pedals need. I love how small it is. It fits under the pedaltrain Metro beautifully. I used velcro but I could get one of their clamps. But so far so good. If I had to say one thing negative it would be the RCA plugs used at the unit.. but I guess those are easy enough to purchase

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