Pedal Power Supply Recommendation??

[Relsom]

The Eventide is a fantastic option as well, I have two of them. The only real difference is that the Cioks DC7 has a 24v output that will power expansion power supplies (like the DC4) and you won't have to have a seperate AC power source for it.

The Powermax V2 now has the 24vdc and expandability features ... same as the DC-7.

Yankee

Burkey

Cioks

Any of the above and there are many more. I have nothing but praise for Yankee and burkey especially

I’ve heard so much good about the CIOKS dc7 but I am completely biased towards strymon Zuma/Ojai. My board is pretty large and I run a zuma and 2 ojai expansions. My board is whisper quick due to the dual isolation of each output. Also strymon is 500mah per output so it will power just about anything.

Another vote for Cioks

Strymon fan here as well. Small, but expandable.

All I can say is don't use a 1-spot

@HolmeBass certainly a number of them may be, however the Vitoos is indeed isolated power.

I've actually learned a lot from this thread, mainly that I have options that I didn't know I had.

I do like that there are readily-avialable underboard mounting brackets for the Voodoo Labs stuff, though, and that definitely sways me in that direction.

Good talk, y'all/youse/yinz.

Just keep in mind that the Voodoo brackets are really only for Pedaltrains, and the Cioks Grip mount is a much nicer solution for Pedaltrains, and it will work with any board that has a rail to mount it to.

well, I had a Strymon and it was top-notch. I had three MXRs (one ISO brick and two mini-ISO bricks) and all had or developed a hardware problem, so when my only left dies, I'll probably get an Ojai again. in your case that'd be probably Zuma (or two Ojays, they're stackable with a 20V cable).

I also had good experience with Pedaltrain Spark, but only 5 outputs and discontinued.

the reason I didn't try Cioks/Eventide yet is that here they're more expensive than Strymons, but I've heard they're very good. and not really fond of non-standard power cables (on the power brick's end it's not a 2.1mm jack, it's a RCA connector).

an isolated power supply is not an overkill, it definitely improves things IME.

I went with the Cioks DC7. Thanks for all of your input! Much appreciated.

I think you've made a great choice.

As far as the power cables, they are standard RCA connectors and, in my opinion, provide a far better connection to the power supply than the typical connectors. They're also available from plenty of retailers who sell the Cioks line so you're never far from getting any additional cables. But, Cioks makes sure you're going to everything you need included in the box with with the power supply. So concerns about the "non-standard" standard RCA connections are overwrought.
