Hi Guys,

There has a been a bit of delay in the order, well payment at least, because I need to know what extra cables you may require... I ordered what I thought was enough until one of my clients, who bought 2 DC-10's decided to deplete all the extras!

Just so you know, each of the supplies ship with the following cables, 16 in total:

3 x 30cm 2.1mm 90 degree Boss Style Cables (- center)
2 x 50cm 2.1mm 90 degree Boss Style Cables (- center)
1 x 50cm 2.1mm Straight Boss Style Cable (- center)
2 x 80cm 2.1mm 90 degree Boss Style Cables (- center)
2 x 50cm 2.1mm 90 degree Boss Style Cable (+ center)
1 x 50cm 2.5mm 90 degree Eventide Style Cable (+ center)
1 x 50cm 3.5mm 90 degree EHX jack Style Cable (+ Tip)
1 x 50cm 3.5mm Straight EHX jack Style Cable (+ Tip)
1 x 50cm 9V Battery Snap
1 x 30cm + 50cm Boss Style 'Split Flex' (Powers 2 Boss style pedals off one cable)
1 x 50cm 'Stack Flex' (Combines 2 of the 9V outlets into a single 18VDC)

Additional 'standard' cables run at R36,00 each, the 'flex' cables at R56,00 and the Booster Flex @ R340.00 (this allows you to double the 9V to 18V and only use one connection, unlike the 'Stack Flex', which requires 2).

Please lets me know what extras you need and QTY's so I can cater for you, as shared I've ordered a couple extras but they are going to be sold on a first come, first served basis.

I'm needing to wrap this up by Sunday night as I'm going to give Paul the updated list on Monday so I can arrange the wire transfer on Tuesday.

Cheers

The standard set of 16 will do fine for me.

Anyway, AFAIK, the outputs of the CIOKS are standard RCA? That should mean it will be relatively simple to make up any additional cables if the need arises.

Hi Matt

An additional split flex and a booster flex will do for me.

Mike

will pm you as well

Hi Guys,

Thanks for your feedback, Cioks have updated the invoice with the additional cables and I will wire the funds tomorrow morning. then we are looking at +- 3 week to manufacture, 1 week delivery via FedEx, these are subject to change, but as of now that is the ETA.

Cheers

Matt

FYI!

Tomorrow, at latest Monday your package will be ready to ship. We're waiting for 5 SA style power cords to complete the shipment.
Best regards,
Poul Ciok

Ah was just wondering about this this morning. I've got a gig next Sat with Bill Knight so want to put a small board together and wondered if the PSU would be here in time (which I now know is doubtful).

They are sitting at the Cape Town FedEx depo ☹ According to them they haven't received payment, which is bull since the VAT and duties were paid last week and proof of payment sent through to them, they only invoice me for them on late Thursday afternoon. I'll will sort it out today with head office and should get delivery tomorrow, call me to arrange collection.

FedEx seem to do that regularly - it is bull, because the deposit itself shows up with a reference number. My last parcel via them I ended up emailing proof twice and faxing it to them. I think they do it to cover delays in processing.

NICE one matt! looking foward to getting this puppy. i am working in plumstead at the moment so i will pop past on the way home. will drop you a text to confirm. WOOHOO

matta

I've got the power (supplies)! They just arrived and look great ?

I'm actually completed sold out on this order, all 10 are accounted for. I'm sure that after those who have one give their report backs there might be interest in a 2nd order, it will be more expensive, but GFSA guys who pay upfront will get a better deal than retail... so lets see.

Cape Town guys give me a call on 083 324 1477 to arrange collection, I can send them to you via the Post Office if you want, but that will be an additional charge. Up country guys, give me tomorrow to get them all packed and please PM me you shipping addresses and I'll get them out to you.

Thanks again for your support!

Cheers

Got the Cioks from MATTA today ? ?

Plugged it up and ended up only using all 8 of the std boss style cables.
I thought that my Nova Delay would use a "special" cable but it seems to use the same old boss style (obviously 12v tho)

The power supply fits nicely,minimal pedalboard real estate. I am using almost all the inputs and was wondering if its beter to "daisy chain" some of my pedals off 1 input OR use the power out from my tuner for example. Will this be a better/ queiter way to run it? or just use 1 input per 1 pedal (as I currently have it setup)

...Just want to have the optimum setup from it and obviously the quietest.

matta

Hey Don,

Glad you are all sorted!

RE linking on the pedal vs through the TU2, much of a muchness, either will have the same results. In this case I'd just use the included split flex cable, the one with 2 of the BOSS style adapters coming off the RCA to achieve this.

I just had a glance through the manual and wanted to point out that by default the unit is switched to 'glow', so the main LED glows like an orb and fades out again, this is completely normal and a feature, as the pedal draws more current and gets warmer the intensity of this glow will increase... if this all sounds kind of trippy you can set the power LED to be always one by switching DIP switch 1.

The other thing that is REALLY neat/crazy is that when you switch the unit one it blinks your unique serial number for your PSU at you via the power LED, ala morse code, neat!

Cheers

I know what you mean - one can get lost in time staring at these types of things...

Ooo... then you NEED a Boss RT-20 - very trippy!

Don't daisy unless you have to. If you've got the Pitch Black, I suspect that filters the power output or something, because I get less noise using that than a daisy cable.

Y'all so lucky....

I am still touched (for life) that I bought a Voodoo Labs PSU a month before this order was placed...
I recently upgraded the ISO5 to the Pedal Power 2 Plus however...

I must say it is a wonderful unit too.. and I'm pretty happy with it...

Enjoy every one, this Cioks stuff is just to cool for words ?
