How many pedals can the CIOKS SOL power?

5 isolated outputs and 3300mA of DC at 9V, checked jack by jack against 211 pedals at their own voltage.

Plan a board on the CIOKS SOL

02The short answer

Up to 5 pedals, one per output, from 3300mA of DC at 9V.

Built for: A compact board of up to five pedals at mixed voltages, every outlet switchable from 9V to 18V with 6W behind it.

  • 201 of the 205 powered pedals in our database run on any jack here at their voltage.
  • Every powered pedal in the database has a jack here that carries it.
  • 4 pedals have no published draw: read the figure off the label and the calculator finds the jack that carries it.
  • 4 passive volume pedals take no jack at all.
  • The Eventide H90 Harmonizer runs from its own 12V adapter, off the supply.
  • The Electro-Harmonix Deluxe Memory Man runs from its own 24V adapter, off the supply.

03The jacks

Per-jack ratings as the manufacturer publishes them. A jack carries a pedal when it offers the pedal's voltage and its rating at that voltage is at or above the pedal's draw.

OutputJacksVoltagemA per jackPedals each jack carries
Jacks 1-559V / 12V / 15V / 18V660mAat 9V; less above201 of 201
Total DC53300mA

Every output section is isolated, so a digital pedal on one jack does not share a ground with the pedal next to it. “Pedals each jack carries” counts the 201 powered pedals in our database with a published draw, each at its own voltage. Pedal figures are typical published draws; check each pedal’s label for its voltage and polarity before you plug in.

Current at each voltage

Jacks 1-5 deliver a fixed wattage, so the current falls as the voltage rises. The calculator reads each jack at the voltage its pedal runs at.
