I paid $369.00 (plus tax, of course) for my DC7 + 8 set, but that was back in November of 2021. Wow, they've really crept up in price recently!
Generally, If I'm powering mainly just a bunch of 9 volt pedals, my first choice is usually a Pedal Power 3 Plus, because of the 12 available isolated outlets. You can also add 4 or 8 port expansion boxes to those, using a 24-volt pass-through cable, and share the same IEC input cable to power both.
Voodoo power supplies have been around forever and seem to be built to withstand World War 3. Not surprised their power supplies are still on so many thousands of guitarists' boards.
Voodoo's customer service is absolutely stellar, as well. But then, so is that of Walrus Audio. They really deliver.
One of many things I love about the CIOKS DC Series units is the ability to use them with the GRIP mounting brackets, which allow for drill-free installation. If you're someone who likes to experiment with power supply placement, or you just want to bounce a supply from one board to another, you can do this without having to drill a single hole in your boards.
Also the bracket does double duty as a heat transfer mechanism - but I must admit, the DC7 units don't seem to heat up that much, even when powering up multiple high-current pedals.
The USB out on the DC7s can power a smart device, or even some pedalboard lights, like The Bright Switch, by Rock Stock Pedals.
The kit comes with a single LED/goose neck lamp and a 2 Amp power supply.
I actually didn’t know the DC7 had a 5V USB outlet, that’s pretty cool!
I was planning to put one of these USB powered page turners on my board so that will be really useful
