CIOKS power supplies at Lauzon Music
What CIOKS is known for
Poul Ciok founded CIOKS in Denmark in 1991, starting with the CIOKS Baby, five 9V outlets, and the company still makes only power supplies for effects pedals. Every model has isolated outputs and balanced power. The current Future Power Generation range, introduced in 2017, uses switch-mode designs in a one-inch-high case with four selectable voltages on each outlet.
The models we carry
What's in stock changes week to week. See every CIOKS supply and cable in stock.
- DC7 v2. Seven isolated outlets at up to 660mA at 9V each, four voltages per outlet, 48W in all, a 15W USB-C outlet and a 24V outlet for adding expanders
- SOL. The smallest mains-powered CIOKS: five isolated outlets with the same 660mA per outlet as the DC7, 30W in all, for small and medium boards
- CRUX. Plugs into the DC7's 24V outlet and turns it into a high-current 9V or 12V feed for a Neural DSP Quad Cortex, a Line 6 HX pedal or another hungry multi-effects unit
- 4 Expander and 8 Expander. Four or eight more isolated outlets for a DC7; the 4 can also run on its own from almost any 9 to 24V adapter or USB-C
- Flex cables. CIOKS's own power cables, extensions, splits and adapters, sold singly

Questions
CIOKS questions, answered
Where are CIOKS power supplies made?
CIOKS is a Danish company, based in Koge, and says its supplies are handmade and designed in Europe.
Which CIOKS supply runs a Quad Cortex or HX Stomp?
A DC7 with a CRUX. The CRUX takes the DC7's 24V outlet and turns it into a high-current 9V or 12V feed, so the multi-effects unit doesn't use up the DC7's regular outlets, four of them in the case of a Quad Cortex.
Can I add outlets to a CIOKS DC7?
Yes. The 4 Expander and 8 Expander connect to the DC7's 24V outlet. A DC7 with an 8 Expander gives 15 isolated outlets, each with four selectable voltages.
What's the difference between the DC7 and the SOL?
Outlets and total power. The DC7 has seven isolated outlets and 48W, plus USB-C and a 24V outlet for expanders. The SOL has five isolated outlets and 30W in a smaller case. Both give 660mA at 9V on every outlet, with four selectable voltages.
Do you ship CIOKS power supplies to the US?
Yes. CIOKS supplies ship insured, free over $200 across Canada and the US, and US orders carry no duty.
