The CIOKS 8 expander kit adds an extra eight isolated power outlets to your DC7-equipped pedalboard. Not only that, but this small unit is capable of powering almost any pedal on the market. How can one power supply expander do so much? Let Sweetwater clue you in! Each power outlet is individually switchable between 9, 12, 15, and 18 volts, making it easy to give your pedals the voltage they need. When you're looking for an extension for your CIOKS DC7, you can't go wrong with the CIOKS 8 pedal power supply expander from Sweetwater.

Selectable power output





The CIOKS 8 is loaded with pairs of DIP switches beside each outlet. Each pair of switches controls how much voltage is passed through its assigned outlet. With both switches down, the outlet will pass 9V current. Raise the left switch, and you'll get 12V. Raise the right switch (with the left in the down position), and the device can power 15V pedals. Push both switches up, and you'll get 18V. The customizable power feature allows you to give special voltage to the pedals that need it without having to add a specialized power supply to your board.





Advanced LED monitoring keeps you on top of everything





The CIOKS 8 is jam-packed with advanced LED monitoring. Individual status LEDs on each outlet remain lit under normal conditions, dim when you reach the upper limits of the outlet’s voltage, and shut off upon overload. A global status LED inside the CIOKS logo’s “O” warns you if you exceed the unit’s power limit.
