Cioks DC7 review- it's awesome

[krfoss]

Or just use Velcro.

Yes, Velcro. That's how I'm attaching my DC7 under my PT mini and its never shifted once.

It's kinda heavy. Just use the industrial velcro, or the grip

I’ve got the Eventide version arriving tomorrow. Should be exactly what I need.

No drilling is needed for the DC7, get the Grip mount.

Cioks or Eventide Grip under a Nano? YES!

And just like that, I've swapped my DC5 for a Powermax + Grip mount. Couldn't be happier

The only thing that's not 100% perfect is that it only comes with 5 type-1 cables as opposed to the DC7 which comes with 7, but that's a pretty minor gripe. Hoping this will be my last PSU for a long time.

Yeah I've got two of them so I bought a few extra cables. They're pretty cheap. These of course work with Cioks supplies as well.

Ah, score! I was looking for a good source for these cables, wasn't aware they were on Sweetwater (though it makes perfect sense). Thanks!

I wasn't aware of this either. Thanks for the heads up!

Recently needed one of the Booster cables and ended up buying it from Poland.

Yeah, shipping from Poland takes about three weeks. Been there, done that. There's a good source with 2 day shipping on Reverb also for some cables.

I think this is the PS I'm gonna go with - but probably the Power Max version.

Previously had an ADAM on a PT nano, and always wished I had room and power for one more pedal.

Trying to decide between the Metro 16 or the Nano+. Leaning heavily to the Metro 16.
Board first, cables, then Power Supply.

Question for you. I've finally got my GRIP in hand and I'm a little frustrated by it. When you attach it to the board, are you screwing the screws so that they're flush with the bracket, as it says in the instructions, or just enough to hold it in place?

When I screw them in enough so that they're flush, I see the bracket bending and I'm also digging the screws into the back of the board, making marks and little holes all over the place. It looks kinda janky and I was under the impression that this solution wouldn't be putting more holes in my board. This is on a Nano+ by the way.

Yeah it works kinda like a set screw, you just tighten them enough to clamp them to your board. So yeah they will make round spots where you tighten the screws, but not holes.

The Grip is awesome. No drilling, holds the power supply perfectly solid.

Love the reviews! I’m eyeballing the dc7 to power the Markbass Compressore and the Aguilar Tone Hammer pre. Looks like it can handle the mA and voltage pull of both?

Great thread, definitely buying the dc7 or powermax.

It sounds like the only difference between the two is the color and the cables supplied, am I right? Doesn’t really justify the extra $40.

 

[devnulljp]

So it does 15V like the DC10? That could be what would make me buy another Bassbone.

The CIOKS also has 24 volt out and you can connect other power supplies like the DC4 to extend functionality.
