CIOKS DC5 User Manual

Not included accessories
Mains Link Adapter
This adapter type allows you to link the DC5 to another link power supply and power several
units using one single mains power cord. The DC5 will be the last unit in the chain since it
lacks the AC mains auxiliary outlet.
More Flex cables
To power one pedal using one outlet you simply use a single suitable standard Flex cable and
that's it. In case the plug type or length you need is not included with your unit there's a big
selection of standard Flex cables to choose from and to be ordered separately. In case of an odd
voltage or current requirement you might need one of the Special Flex cables available. Please
read more about these and how to use them on CIOKS web site. They really open up for even
more versatility and flexibility in terms of what you can power with your unit.
Powering different pedal types
This issue is different for every individual rig, therefore please e-mail your specific questions
regarding powering your pedals using CIOKS power supplies directly to support@cioks.com.

Power Supply for Effect Pedals
Introduction
Since 1991 the Danish company CIOKS has been providing guitar and bass players with
reliable power supplies dedicated for effect pedals. After our very first product CIOKS Baby
power supply was out in 1991, the Big John and Double Jack were launched in year 1995.
After a long break three more units were introduced in 2007 forming our Standard range of
dedicated power supplies for effect pedals. The big breakthrough came in year 2010 where
we've released the first products of the professional range with the DC10 as the most popular
product until now days. CIOKS became global with distributors and dealers worldwide. To
th
mark our 20 anniversary in year 1991 we made one of the biggest, most powerful and
advanced power supply for pedals – the CIOKOLATE. It's still a one stop solution for many
guitar players. To follow our slogan "More power, more features, more design", we have in
year 2012 released the link range. Three of the Standard range products have been dramatically
upgraded and went through a spectacular face-lift, where the only thing left were their original
names. CIOKS Schizophrenic link, Big John link and AC Rider link were released in 2013.
The following year our smallest product, ADAM power supply came out and instantly became
our second biggest hit. In cooperation with Eventide we made the Eventide Power Factor
power supply which has now been updated and available in a link version being the first
product in the new professional link range.
In year 2015 we've launched our second professional link range product – the DC5 link power
supply. A perfect match for the flat pedalboards like the Pedaltrain nano, mini or metro types.
Toroidal transformer, super flat design, small, light weighted but still powerful enough to
power any two Strymon, Eventide or other high current pedals of the two high current outlets.
The remaining three will at lower currents provide 9, 12 or 18V or even 24V with series
adapter Flex. DC5 link is also a nice 5 isolated outlets add-on to any other CIOKS link PSU.
