The CIOKS DC7 is a premium isolated pedalboard power supply designed for guitarists, bassists, touring musicians, studio players and pedalboard builders who need clean, flexible an d reliable power for modern effects pedals. It combines seven fully isolated high-current DC outputs, selectable voltages, ultra-low noise operation, USB power and expansion support in one slim, professional power supply. Built for demanding pedalboards, the DC7 is designed to power everything from classic analogue pedals to high-current digital effects, amp modellers and complex multi-pedal setups. Each of its seven isolated outputs can be set to 9V, 12V, 15V or 18V, with up to 660mA available per output at 9V, making it one of the most flexible compact pedalboard power solutions available. It follows the same practical product-led approach as the Mackie ShowBox template, focusing on real-world performance, reliability, flexibility and making a musician’s setup easier to use. Why Choose the CIOKS DC7? The CIOKS DC7 is designed to solve one of the most common pedalboard problems: unreliable or noisy power. A high-quality pedalboard power supply can make a huge difference to the way a rig performs, especially when using multiple pedals, digital effects, gain pedals, modulation units and time-based effects together. Seven isolated outputs help reduce ground loop noise and power-related interference. This is particularly important for pedalboards that combine overdrives, delays, reverbs, loopers, wireless receivers and digital processors, where poor power can quickly lead to hum, buzz or inconsistent performance. Each output is highly flexible. You can choose between 9V, 12V, 15V and 18V on every outlet, allowing the DC7 to support a wide range of pedals without needing separate power supplies. At 9V, each output can deliver up to 660mA, making it suitable for many current-hungry modern pedals. The slim 25.4mm profile makes the DC7 ideal for mounting underneath pedalboards. CIOKS describes the DC7 as having a one-inch profile and weighing around 500g, helping it fit neatly into compact and professional board builds without adding unnecessary bulk. The DC7 also includes a 5V USB outlet and a 24V auxiliary outlet. The USB output can be used for compatible USB-powered accessories, while the 24V auxiliary output allows expansion with compatible CIOKS add-on units, making the DC7 a strong foundation for larger pedalboards. Expansion is a key advantage. The DC7 can be paired with CIOKS expanders such as the CIOKS 4 Expander, CIOKS 8 Expander and CIOKS Crux, giving players a way to grow their power system as their pedalboard develops.

Who Is It For? The CIOKS DC7 is ideal for guitarists and bassists building a serious pedalboard for live performance, studio recording, touring, worship, theatre work, session playing or home use. It is particularly useful for players who use several pedals with different voltage or current requirements. Beginners building their first professional board will appreciate the clean, reliable power and future-proof flexibility. Intermediate and advanced players will benefit from the isolated outputs, switchable voltages, low-noise design, power monitoring and expansion options. It is also a strong choice for pedalboard builders and techs who need a dependable power supply that can adapt to many different layouts and pedal combinations. Why Choose an Isolated Pedalboard Power Supply? An isolated pedalboard power supply is one of the best upgrades you can make to a pedalboard. While daisy chains and basic plug-in supplies may work for small setups, they can introduce noise, hum and instability as the board grows. The CIOKS DC7 gives each pedal output its own isolated supply, helping reduce unwanted noise and making the board more reliable. This is especially useful when mixing analogue drive pedals with digital delays, reverbs, loopers, multi-effects and high-current units. For live players, this means more confidence on stage. For recording players, it helps keep the signal cleaner. For pedalboard builders, it provides a flexible platform that can handle changing setups over time. Story & Context CIOKS is a Danish company that has specialised in pedal power supplies since 1991, building a strong reputation with guitarists, bassists and professional pedalboard builders. The DC7 is part of the company’s Future Power Generation range, designed around flexible isolated power, low-noise performance and modern pedalboard requirements. The DC7 has become a popular choice for serious boards because it combines a slim enclosure, high output capacity, selectable voltages and expandability. Rather than being a basic pedal power brick, it is designed as the central power platform for players who want a reliable board that can grow with them.

It provides isolated DC power to your pedals through CIOKS Flex cables, with voltage selected individually for each outlet. Before connecting any pedal, always check the pedal’s voltage, polarity and current requirement. Using the wrong voltage or polarity can damage pedals, so the DC7’s flexibility should be matched carefully to each pedal’s specification.
