Power Source which one to choose?

[Petelow]

Hello,

I need to buy a power source to power my pedals and I don't know which is the best and most reliable one to choose.

Until last year, I worked with a Harley Benton ISO-1 Pro. It even works well until I buy an Ampeg SGT DI. My pedalboard consisted of: Korg Pitchback > EHX Bass Soul Food > Morley Dual Bass Wah > Ampeg Liquifier > Ampeg SGT DI. For a while everything worked fine until one day during the rehearsel, the ISO-1 turned off. I turned everything off and on again and everything worked fine except the Ampeg SGT DI. The pedal died. I activated the warranty and I never used ISO-1 again.

Now my pedalboard consists of: Korg pitchblack > Line 6 Hx One > Ampeg SGT DI. I'm using 3 transformers for each pedal, but I want to go back to using just one current source.

The set consumes 1030mA. What is the best and most reliable power source you recommend to avoid having problems again? And it fits under a 2.1 rockboard.

Best regards

Cioks DC7 is the best choice right now to avoid issues and has the flexibility to support most pedals available. If you don’t think you’ll use more than 5 pedals you can save some money with the Cioks Sol, but if you might use more the DC7 can run extensions to
support more pedals. My home setup is a DC7 with two 8 Expanders to power up to 23 pedals. They are also very thin and will fit under pretty much any board.

Cioks DC7. In my experience, you really don't want to cheap out on power supplies. Buy once cry once, buy nice or buy twice etc.

While I agree with the others that the Cioks DC-7 is the best choice in general,
with your requirements the Cioks Sol would also suffice.

Thank you very much for the answers guys. Does Cioks Sol add noise to the sound line?

The DC7 and Sol are about as best as you can get. Everything in the Cioks "Future Power Generation" is top of the line, you shouldn't have any noise issues: Future Power Generation

I love the Sol. It’s also the smallest supply I’ve seen that uses a standard IEC cable. There’s no way you won’t be happy with the performance.

Cioks. For flexibility and form factor.

Power Source which one to choose?

Hmmm...

Dilithium Crystals always seem to be more trouble than they're worth.

Murdered Parents seems too traumatic.

I'm going to go with Earths Yellow Sun, as the most practical option.

Cioks. I have a dc-4 on a small board and dc-7 on my IRM rockband board. Bullet proof...

“Home set up runs 23 pedals”

@Derek Williams take a bow

Strymon "fits" my needs.

CIOKS DC7 for all needs, CIOKS SOL for a small board you think you’ll never expand. I used a SOL for an HX Stomp and a Sushi Box Finally. I also use a SOL for a Nano+ analog board.

Not sure if anyone has mentioned Cioks yet, specifically the DC7 but it's top notch!
