Flex cables
CIOKS offers a great selection of different Flex cable types for connecting your pedals to the
power supply. Below you see a list of the included Flex cables with your unit:
Type 1 – black with 5,5/2,1mm centre negative DC-plug
Type 2 – red with 5,5/2,1mm centre positive DC-plug
Type 4 – green with 5,5/2,5mm centre positive DC-plug
Type 5 – black with 3,5mm tip positive jack-plug
Type 6 – black with 9V battery clip
Type 7 – blue with 2 pin DIN plug
Split Flex type 1 – black with two 5,5/2,1mm centre negative DC-plugs
3-way Daisy chain Flex – black with three 5,5/2,1mm centre negative DC-plugs
Stack Flex type 1 – black with 5,5/2,1mm centre negative DC-plug
Series Adapter Flex – 2x white / 1x black to be used with a standard Flex cable
Split Flex or Daisy Chain Flex should be used if you'd like to power two or three pedals needing
the same supply voltage using only one outlet. Stack Flex or Series Adapter Flex should be used to
obtain 18, 24, 40V or other higher voltage values by using two of the power supply's outlets. For
further information about Flex cables please have a look on our web site.

Mounting hardware

We've included all the needed hardware to mount the power supply on top or underneath a
Pedaltrain or Temple Audio pedalboard. You can of course also attach it to boards of other brands.
Look on CIOKS web site for more information and mounting guides.

Introduction
x2
Since 1991 the Danish company CIOKS has been providing guitar and bass players with reliable
x1
power supplies dedicated for effect pedals. To mark the 20
x1 made the most powerful and versatile power supply for effect pedals on the market – CIOKS
x1
CIOKOLATE. With some additions and a slightly different design we've put the DC10 and AC10
x1
power supplies in one enclosure. Loads of power, almost endless compositions of different
x1
voltages and a great selection of included Flex cables make this power supply a really strong tool
x1
for powering big pedalboards with many different pedals. CIOKS CIOKOLATE power supply
will power several high current digital pedals, high voltage 18, 24 or even 40V pedals, one or two
AC pedals, one or two Radial Tonebone pedals or simulating a dying battery it will power your old
favourite fuzz or overdrive. On top of that it will of course also power all your standard 9V pedals
from its many isolated outlets.

Overview
Front
On the front of the enclosure you'll find 16 outlets of the power supply as RCA sockets where all
DC outlets are centre positive. Correct polarity for the pedal is achieved by using the right Flex
cable. On the most left side of the front you have a knob, which adjusts the output voltage of the
first outlet in the range 4-15 V. The middle 12 o'clock position corresponds to 9V. Fully clockwise
you get 15V and fully counter clockwise 4V. On the most right side of the front panel you'll find
the settings switch.
