Forget all other power supplies! Just get a Cioks DC7 !

[@magnuslervikmusic]

I had a huge problem in my studio for several years. The DC7 solved it so to me the Cioks power supply is the only choice. Great, great power supplies!

[@gregorglasbruch6917]

After having built quite a lot of pedalboards - my first in 1974 - it may sound reasonable the I tested quite a few power supply solutions, running into each and every trouble one can imagine. For my latest board I took the DC7 and expanded that by a Cioks 8 Expander. No more trouble, board is dead quiet, all the pedals sound great, all the flexibility I need for this board. That‘s it. Period!

[@TeleBlaster]

I have a DC7 and 8 expansion under my Pedaltrain Classic Jr. Fits inside the rails using 2 screws each drilled through the board. Rock solid, dead silent and powers 12 pedals with ease. Still have 3 outlets and a usb out unused..which is great for off board testing of new pedals or an off board looper. Best investment ever. My analogman chorus at 15v and Cali76 at 18v sound better than ever.

[@Ratchman_5000]

I started with the Cioks 4 because it can be used as a stand-alone psu. Recently ran out of room so I picked up the Cioks DC7. Absolutely love how high quality and low profile these units are. Hands down the best psu on the market!

[@goswo]

Amen!!

[@shaft9000]

lesser supplies are still fine for small boards. this one is more like 'the last you will possibly ever need'-level gear, which means the price is quite reasonable.

[@timothytobin1481]

HAHAHAHAHA! That f***ing shirt! I can't stop looking at it!

[@victorramsey5575]

I have the DC-7 powering my vintage Boss pedals, most of which require 12vdc. Its absolutely glorious! Btw, cool cat. I have a similar looking one named Sweat Pea. When we got him he was a stray and had anger issues. But he allowed us to take him home and get him back to being (somewhat) normal. He still growls at strangers, but once he knows you he's good. He loves loud music, especially Iron Maiden.

[@jimiluck3684]

I bought mine, the DC5, just after watching the video with the manager of Cioks "Poul" some years ago! A very good power supply, quiet and powerfull.

[@petruccirocks02]

I fucking love my DC7. A ton of power in such a small package and it works brilliantly with my Pedaltrain Nano+. Paul seems like an awesome guy and really knows his stuff. It would be awesome to meet him!

[@JAF2991]

Are the outputs center negatives?

[@petruccirocks02]

I’d love to see a video with you building a board using the DC7, Henning!

[@alexmurphy5289]

Well.... There goes any further search for power supplies. Wow, I'm glad Christmas is here soon!

[@cardbored_]

I had a Voodoo 4x4 and could NOT use it without significant noise under my pedalboard, I never realized how bad Voodoo supplies are for noise. I am now using a Ciokolate on my large board and DC-7 on my smaller board, couldn't be happier.

[@Starch1b2c3d4a]

Ill check out the smaller versions. Impressive.

[@joenice529]

Just ordered one been using a 1 spot for years have a bunch of pedals that I couldn’t use now I can and buy more pedals had my eye on

[@briankrueger1142]

I think I need to upgrade. Thanks Henning!

[@adaire451]

Getting back into guitar and I have a personal small home studio. I'm about to get more into guitar pedals and will be using some in recordings. After mulling around a bunch with what power supply to get, I actually came to the conclusion to just get the best power supply I can since I need the least amount of noise possible. I could get a Voodoo or whatever for cheaper, but the Cioks DC7 seems like a purchase I can just do and then not have to worry again.

[@brad-guitar-miller813]

The fact that you can parallel or series the outputs makes it usable for just about everything. The fact that is uses standard phone jacks on the unit you can easily fab your own interfaces.

[@sumithramachandranwatchyou5045]

Nice, some musical instrument like Synthstrom Deluge and 1010Music Bluebox also can be powered using USB 5 volt, this power supply is very handy 👍

Million dollar question... will this fit under the Pedaltrain Nano or Nano+??? Great video. Thanks a lot!!!

[@EytschPi42]

yes it does

[@Joel_Garcia]

Amazin video! Why do you say "to don't combine digital pedals" on same output.? I have a Reverb and Echosystem and Zoia from Empress it would be better to put them each on an output? I ask that because I have the DC10 link and i was thinking on changing it for the DC7 but if i can't combine them on the same outputs... THANKS!!! :)

[@EwaldDieser]

I'm already confused with two pedals...

[@josephbutler148]

Whats the exact dimensions. Don't wanna risk trusting the advertised specs im really tight for space

[@aguitarhero007]

And how do you get the standoffs to use with the Temple Audio boards? Awesome power supply, but they make it nearly impossible to get them.

[@tendingtropic7778]

only thing i dislike is that it uses other types of cables

[@lightningstudio100]

1 output less? correct me if im wrong, but doesnt the zuma have 9 (usable at the same time) outputs?

If you're watching this video, because you're interested in the getting the DC7, just buy it; yes, it's relatively expensive, but it's such a great product that I believe that it's worth every single penny!! I have it on my board, powering some expensive pedals, as well as cheap ones too, and the DC7 is so quiet and hum-free that I struggled to believe it! My Revival Drive sounds fantastic with the DC7, a major leap ahead of the isolated power supply I was using before. I have my HX Stomp connected to the DC7, that's reknowned for causing digital interference with other pedals/power supplies, but the circuit is now as quiet as the grave! I have have the HX on full volume, and the Revival Drive on full gain/blend, and the circuit noise is almost non-existent. I've used the DC7 on some pedals that I know to be noisy, as those pedals are a cheap design with poor filtering, and they not only sound much, much quieter, but the headroom is definitely better and they sound much clearer. Snake oil, perhaps, but I suspect the vastly improved filtering and the isolation from the DC7 has lead to a noticable and audible improvement. I'd rather sell all of my pedals, including my Analogman, before I sold this DC7; it's that good.

[@imagzz4942]

How is the daisy chain? No hum or anything from that either? I have more than 7 pedals, sooo... ^_^

[@derekchapman5167]

@@imagzz4942 buy the Expander 4 or 8, or both if you start with the 8 (which can then feed the 4), giving you 19 outputs. Or, just buy another DC7.

[@Andrew-im2kr]

Would it be possible to power an audio interface or a mixer with it too?

[@pbfotografiert]

Can this thing actually power my 2 Ampere Talkbox?

[@PooNinja]

So theoretically with the 24v 2amp output I could run my 44 mag amp and all my pedals on that 🤘🏽if’n I don’t crank the amp 😈

[@EytschPi42]

no 24V.... actually... well.... maybe?

[@gilbycoyote]

Before the DC7 i would have needed two DC5s to power my metro16 board, so the DC7 is cheaper with Power to spare.

[@roundtheloopandback]

Question on a small board given the dc7 and dc5 and the price difference in the uk, isn't the dc7 a better investment? even if for now it may be more than you need.

[@EytschPi42]

yes, it’s the better investment

[@TheMRCHEEFY]

Could this power a line 6 M5?

[@EytschPi42]

Zuma has 9 outputs and is Made in America. I read somewhere Cioks is manufactued in Poland.

[@EytschPi42]

so why would it be better because it is made in the US? That hasn't been a label of quality in quite some time.

[@Lucky13Twice]

@@EytschPi42 You're actually saying that US products are not quality? So essentially, you're slamming America. And by the way, I never said Zuma was better, I was making the point is has 9 outputs and Made in USA which for many of us means a lot and some of us like to support our economy.

[@ramon2008]

@@Lucky13Twice although I see your point, doubt you’ll make a difference in the economy by buying a guitar power supply in the us. We got many other financial problems

Need to make an “AC Brick” like this that has four 12V AC 800ma isolated power sections. That way people could choose whatever cioks unit they need for their DC power needs and link the “AC Brick” to it.

EytschPi42 Harley Benton Powerplant ISO-2 Pro for 69 euro suffices for me - no 15v on it but any pedal that needs 15v can have its own powersupply for me This is for the serious professional pedal nerd - not for the masses imho.

[@verifier6764]

O.M.G

[@riloh58]

kingpossie - I’m glad it works for you. It wouldn’t work for me. The max combined draw for all 9v outs is 500mA. Two Strymon/Digital pedals (300mA draw each) and you’re already over that limit. I’ll take the Cioks for now. Eventide Powermax (Cioks made) is slightly less but, without the expansion option. EDIT - I’ve just seen the Iso Pro HB power supplies, I think I was looking at the standard models, not the Iso Pro. They are better specced than the standard one I referred to above. For me, I’m still gunning for the Cioks but that’s me and I’m happy for anyone who can get what they need for a lower price.
