I’m having a re-jig of my pedalboard and I want to power everything off a single supply and ditch the Line 6 wallwart. I’m getting conflicting info on the DL-4’s current consumption though... I think I might be able to do it with a Cioks DC5, like this:
Outlets 1-3 (100mA each) powering 5-6 analog drive/distortion/modulation pedals (4-10mA each) at 9V.
Outlet 4 (300mA) powering a Digitech Digiverb (135mA). Might swap it for a Hall of Fame, Polara or something similar in future.
Outlet 5 (300mA) powering the DL-4, not sure if it needs to be at 9V or 12V.
Anybody powering a DL-4 off a Cioks?

Essentially.... the pedal has a diode rectifier stage in it's power circuit, which means it will not be destroyed by a high voltage supply. I used to run a DL-4 with a Voodoo Labs PP2+ for years and years and never had any problems. Just make sure you use the right polarity adapter as I said.
So you can power it from 9vAC or 12vDC with a polarity adapter. Don't worry about the current (ma) - it will draw as much as it needs. A Strymon Ojai or Zuma would get you where you want too.
I think that the 300mA outlet of the DC5, along with the option of upping it to 12V if required should be pretty safe. The Ojai would no doubt be fine with 500mA on each output, but that has an external laptop-style brick to power it.
