Cioks 8 Expansion Kit

An Extension Designed to Complement the DC7 and Boost Your Power Supply

The CIOKS 8 was initially designed as the brand's largest power supply extension to increase the number of available outputs when your setup exceeds the capacity of a main power supply. In this logic, it naturally pairs with the CIOKS DC7: connected to the DC7's 24 V output via the supplied DC Link cable, it adds 8 additional isolated outputs while maintaining the same ultra-flat form factor. The result: a coherent solution for modern pedalboards, which are increasingly dense with effects and electrical demands.

Another strong point: the CIOKS 8 is not limited to the role of an "expander." It can also become a standalone power supply, provided it is powered by 24 V DC with an appropriate adapter, making it interesting for modular setups, compact racks, or as a dedicated power block for a specific area of the pedalboard.

Who the CIOKS 8 Is For: Powerful Pedalboards, Multi-Effects, and Demanding Pedals

The CIOKS 8 Expander Kit is aimed at guitarists and bassists who want a silent, stable, and scalable power supply capable of keeping up with the complexity of a large pedalboard. It is particularly suitable for users with multiple digital pedals, stereo configurations, frequently changing session boards, or those who simply want to avoid daisy-chained power supplies and hum issues.

If you are looking for a "future-proof" solution, the DC7 + CIOKS 8 combination becomes a formidable duo: you get a total of 15 isolated outputs (and, on the DC7, a handy 5 V USB output to charge a phone or tablet), while maintaining a clean and easy-to-troubleshoot setup on stage.

Power, Silence, and Integration: What Makes the Difference

8 Isolated Outputs with High Current Reserve

Each output is isolated and designed to handle power-hungry pedals. At 9 V, each output can supply up to 660 mA, which covers many modern delays, reverbs, and multi-effects units comfortably. The selectable voltage (9 V / 12 V / 15 V / 18 V) per output allows optimizing compatibility and also adapting the response of certain analog pedals sensitive to voltage.

Dual Mode: DC7 Extension or Standalone Power Supply

In extension mode, setup is straightforward: simply use the DC Link cable to connect the CIOKS 8 to the DC7's 24 V output. In standalone mode, the CIOKS 8 can be powered by a 24 V DC power supply via the appropriate DC adapter. To enjoy the full advertised power (6 W per output on all 8 outputs), the adapter used must be capable of delivering 60 W output to ensure sufficient margin for the entire system.

Ultra-Low Noise to Preserve Your Tone

A high-performance power supply is not just about power: it must also remain discreet. The CIOKS 8 relies on multi-stage filtering to minimize noise, which helps maintain a clean signal, especially with high gain, sensitive fuzz pedals, or long effect chains. A LED indicator also allows monitoring overload, useful for quickly diagnosing power issues during rehearsals or concerts.

Pedalboard Integration: Slim, Practical, and Well-Equipped

With its 2.54 cm profile, the CIOKS 8 easily slips under many boards. The kit includes a mounting kit compatible with Pedaltrain and Templaudio pedalboards, and the unit is also compatible with the CIOKS Grip for mounting without drilling. Finally, the inclusion of 12 Flex adapters simplifies wiring and improves overall board organization.
