If you keep your pedalboard small and simple but have pedals that require differing voltages, finding the right power supply is difficult. You have to search for a flexible unit that can still fit within the size restrictions of your board. Fortunately, CIOKS's 4 Isolated Power Supply can help you end that search today. This incredibly compact power supply offers four outlets that are switchable between 9, 12, 15, and 18 volts, making it easy to give your pedals the voltage they need. When we tested the CIOKS 4 at Sweetwater, we were impressed by its flexibility. This unit is an expansion for the CIOKS DC7 power supply, but can be powered a few ways. First, you can use the included power link cable to pull power from the CIOKS DC7. But if you'd rather not take up an outlet there, simply plug it into a USB power supply or your tablet. Whether you're looking for a compact power supply or an extension for an existing supply, you can't go wrong with the CIOKS 4 Pedal Power Supply.

Selectable Power Output





The CIOKS 4 is loaded with pairs of DIP switches beside each outlet Each pair of switches controls how much voltage is passed through its assigned outlet. With both switches down, the outlet will pass 9V current. Raise the left switch, and you'll get 12V. Raise the right switch (with the left in the down position), and the device can power 15V pedals. Push both switches up, and you'll get 18V. The customizable power feature allows you to give special voltage to the pedals that need it without having to add a specialized power supply to your board.





Advanced LED monitoring keeps you on top of everything





The CIOKS 4 is jam-packed with advanced LED monitoring. Individual status LEDs on each outlet remain lit under normal conditions, dim when you reach the upper limits of the outlet’s voltage, and shut off upon overload. A global status LED inside the CIOKS logo’s “O” warns you if you exceed the unit’s power limit.
