Looking for reccos on a new power supply

[joel the bass player]

Sounds like my rechargeable Solutek does all of this at 1/3 the price

Scanned the details, don’t see the word isolated anywhere. Doesn’t have enough output, and unless I was playing in a moving vehicle or something I would never trust something rechargeable.

Maybe your demands are higher but it's 2000mAh through the 9V's (though not sure what one 9V limit might be), 1000mAh through 12V, and 450mAh through 18/24V, and fully isolated according to one of the reviews. Also not sure why you wouldn't. It's effectively one of those uninterruptible power supplies that will last hours instead of a few minutes

This even cheaper one for $30 is fully isolated, so i imagine the other lithium battery power supply is as well

According to the CIOKS D7 product specs, it looks like the $70 Solutek outperforms it in every metric, including output.

You’ll notice the cheaper one shows a current limit per output, which is what you’d expect to see on an isolated supply (in fact I believe this is required for passing electronics regulation testing in order to be sold in the US or EU). Without that labeling I would strongly assume it is not isolated. Doesn’t mean it won’t work for the OP, but it might cause problems.

The Cioks is super high-quality, reliable, flexible, etc- all things I doubt the Solutek can match based on the reviews available. Cioks supplies in general are incredibly robust vs most anything else on the market- you can feel it when you compare them in hand, which is why I’ve been using them for my main boards since 2009 (and that’s only two supplies- an AC10 which still works flawlessly after 10 years of heavy use and now a Cioks/Eventide DC7 for use with my modern high-current pedals). Still the Solutek is a nice budget solution if it works for you, and when the battery inevitably gives up the ghost (which is always the weakest and least predictable aspect of a rechargeable supply) you can buy another one for not that much.

Which 1-Spot Pro do you use? I have two CS6s for smaller boards alongside a Cioks DC7 and the CS6 handles a Stomp and a handful of other pedals like a champ as well. Technically you could run the Stomp off one output, though it is a safer bet to use a current doubler with two outputs. Both the CS6 and CS12 (the two SMPS Truetone supplies) will work well for this

So this product page for probably the same product says "7 x 9V DC @ 2000 mA (common isolated); 1 x 12V DC @1000 mA (common isolated); 1 x 18V or 24V DC @ 450 mA (common isolated); 1 x 5V USB-C Output"

Does that mean the 7 x 9V section itself is isolated, but within that isolation, each 9V connection is not?

That would be my assumption, that is typical of cheap pedal power supplies

The best feature of the DC7, 8, and 4 from Cioks are the dip switches that let you pick from several voltages per output.

 

[HelpImaRock]

The problem with the line6 stuff is they need a 2.5mm plug vs the standard 2.1mm that literally every other pedal in the world uses. SO annoying. the stomp should run on about 1A IIRC.

The new HX One uses a standard BOSS power plug. Hopefully they'll switch to this on future releases as well.

I read this thread and went out and purchased a DC7. Quality is indeed very high and it is very low profile (about an inch). BUT Caveat emptor, for those not familiar with this product, it appears to be designed to be mounted below your pedalboard. The power connectors, which connect on both sides of the unit, use RCA plugs which the manufacturer says are more reliable. But that means they take up an additional 1.5 inches on either side of the unit which extends the width almost 3 inches. If like me, your pedal board has a lid and your power supply is mounted on top of the board, a DC7 may occupy more real estate than the power supply it replaces (in my case, a Voodoo 2).
