The natural evolution of your power system
At Garage à Musique , we know that buying a new pedal is always a celebration... until you realize there are no more free power outlets! That's exactly why the CIOKS 8 Expander was created. Designed to work seamlessly with the CIOKS DC7, this expansion module adds 8 extra isolated outputs to your setup, without taking up any additional vertical space.
But its ingenuity doesn't stop there. Thanks to its integrated USB-C port, the CIOKS 8 can also be used completely independently, powered by a simple external battery or tablet adapter. It's the ultimate solution for creating a portable, ultra-quiet mini-pedalboard, without any need for a wall outlet.
Unparalleled expansion capabilities
La compagne idéale de la DC7 : Reliez-la simplement à la sortie 24V de votre CIOKS DC7 via le câble d'extension fourni, et obtenez instantanément 8 sorties supplémentaires.
Le roi de la portabilité (USB-C) : Branchez une batterie externe sur son entrée USB-C 5V et alimentez vos pédales au milieu de la forêt ou dans la rue.
Flexibilité absolue : Comme sur la DC7, chacune des 8 sorties dispose de son propre sélecteur de tension (9V, 12V, 15V ou 18V) pour s'adapter à 100% de votre équipement.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. Does the CIOKS 8 Expander come with a wall plug?
No. This is an expansion module. It's designed to be powered either by a CIOKS DC7 (using the included 24V Link cable) or via its USB-C port with an external power source. If you're looking for the version with a wall plug, check out the "CIOKS 8 Stand-alone" kit instead.
2. Can I power it with a standard phone charger?
Yes! The USB-C port accepts tablet/phone chargers and portable batteries (power banks). Note, however, that the total power delivered to your pedals will depend on the power of your external battery (a good battery will deliver approximately 2000mA in total).
3. Are the cables to connect my pedals included?
Absolutely. CIOKS includes a very generous assortment of 12 "Flex" cables (the cables with RCA plugs to standard plugs for your pedals), as well as the Link cable to connect it to your DC7.
4. Does the CIOKS 8 fit under my Pedaltrain?
Yes. Just like the DC7, the CIOKS 8 has an ultra-slim profile, only one inch (25.4 mm) thick. It fits under all Pedaltrains, including the flat Nano and Metro series. You can use the included screws or the CIOKS GRIP mount.
5. Can I power a Neural DSP Quad Cortex or a Kemper Profiler Player with it?
Yes! These units require a lot of power, but by combining several outputs of the CIOKS 8 with the specific adapter cables (Current Doubler / Voltage Doubler, sold separately), you can power these digital monsters without any problem.
