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

I’ve had other power supplies from other manufacturers fail, but never with CIOKS. Highly reliable and stable, quiet power. A+

Llegó en perfecto estado, funciona de maravilla

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 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.

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’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!

I’m absolutely in love with this power solution - it’s small and quiet and does the best thing a power unit can - it barely lets you know it’s even there.

Awesome power supply. All the cables you could want and super flexible.

Compact and versatile.

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.
