Hey guys,
I'm wanted to make an actual pedal board. When I was last in a band I used a plank of wood and a marlin power supply. This time I'm going more premium hah.
I'd just come to terms with the £155 outlay for a Coiks DC8 but then I noticed something, that hopefully I'm just reading wrong/don't understand. It says that there are 6 isolated sections and that the last two isolated sections and 9 and 12 volt. Looking like in each section there is a 9v and a 12v input.
Am I right in thinking that I could only plug 6 9v pedals directly into this unit without using a splitter/daisy? The reason the pedal appeals to me that I wouldn't need to use a splitter. The only unusual pedal I have is a full tone 69 with with centre positive connection, so I just need an isolated power supply with at least 7 inputs.
I have 7 9v pedals, no 12 volt pedals! So would that mean the 2 12 volt inputs are useless to me on the coiks dc8?
Thanks!

That said, cioks offer a bunch of splitter cables which work perfectly well.
Thanks again!

That'll do what you want.
I've got the DC-10 and it's a great product.

I don't know what you're putting it on (Pedaltrain) but look at the fitting of it and there are videos on YT.
I've just had a rethink and used the pedal board planner. It looks like I might fit everything on a metro 24 if i get a mini wah. Then I could put a Coiks DC5 underneath. On this set up, which pedals would you split the power between? I just don't want noise!
Wah - tuner - always on clean boost - uni vibe - fuzz - overdrive - delay
Fuzz will need its own an its centre positive.
I'm thinking wah and tuner to share, but then not sure what other pair of pedals to stare with?
Also, regarding patch cables. Is there any disadvantage regarding sound quality or noise if I use the pancake plugs, either switchcraft or hicon?
Thanks,
Rich

I think the Cioks fits pedaltrain boards better than the original Voodoo Labs but don't know about the PP2 as I've never looked. I think you had to raise the feet for the PP1 if memory serves me correct.
I've used George Ls solderless patch cables and also Evidence too to good effect.

I think I'm going to go with a Coiks dc 5 and a metro 24. I'm ditching my big wah pedal. I don't use it much anyway, so just going to go with 6 pedals on the board.
The DC 5 seems to include all the cables I'd need, one splitter cables and one centre positive cable. So perfect!
