Reviews around supply (5.00 of 5)

  • Third thing is, this is just a really good power supply
  • The DC5 Link (and the Adam Link) is an easier install than other Cioks supplies, which are already some of the easiest supplies to install
  • I had one with Big John that I replaced with the DC5 as it's just a more versatile supply (even though the Big John has slightly more total power output)
  • While I enjoyed the Big John and the Adam supplies, I am really helped out by the fifth isolated output
  • two Adam Links, and one Big John, but I think this one is the most useful small supply yet

Reviews around quality (5.00 of 5)

  • I am pretty sure the DC5 is far and away the best quality and most flexible option for a smaller pedalboard, if you want more than a one spot or volto type PS, that there is currently
  • Not only does it do that, but it does it beautifully, with a lot of flexibility and super high quality construction

Reviews around use (5.00 of 5)

  • I love the use of RCA jacks, the voltage options and the ability to fit these under the tiniest Pedaltrain boards

Reviews around spot (5.00 of 5)

  • I was using one spot's or voltos for them, which worked fine, but could not accommodate pedals that needed bigger voltage or isolation for center positive connections, which I wanted to be able to swap in on a small grab'n-go on occasion

Reviews around nano (5.00 of 5)

  • : I had to get slightly bigger rubber feet to elevate my nano plus a little so the cioks had clearance from the floor, but it took all of 3 dollar and 5 minutes to do

Reviews around power (4.03 of 5)

  • My pedals are getting clean power from the DC5 and are dead silent from unwanted noise
  • No hum, always has power.
  • Gain pedals only sound as good as the power they receive, and my dirt pedals sound great when they've got good power going to it
  • Third thing is, this is just a really good power supply
  • Flexible powering option allow me to power any of my pedals

Reviews around pedal (3.22 of 5)

  • Since I wanted to keep my digital pedals isolated from my analog pedals, that means I needed to chain three pedals to the last isolated output
  • Gain pedals only sound as good as the power they receive, and my dirt pedals sound great when they've got good power going to it
  • The cioks keeps my pedals quieter.

Reviews around output (1.00 of 5)

  • I could always use more outputs and more isolated outputs
  • It only comes with one 2-way daisy chain cable, meaning that only using the cables that come in DC5, you're limited to 6 pedals on your board total, even though a 900 mA combined supply with five isolated outputs should handle a few more pedals without introducing much noise as long as you're picky about which pedals are chained together
  • While the Big John allows for 400 mA on two of its four isolated outputs, the truth of the matter is, few things require that much current, so 300 mA is enough for me
  • When I was using the Big John, that meant that I only had two isolated outputs left for all of my other pedals, one of which is a Holy Grail Nano digital reverb
  • While I enjoyed the Big John and the Adam supplies, I am really helped out by the fifth isolated output
  • Read remaining 6 reviews for output
