This little guy seems under the radar. It's available in two versions. As an expander or stand alone which includes the AC adapter. I have two of these guys. Here's a few things which makes it cool and unique. -Super small fits in a Nano board perfectly. Super light. Much lighter than traditional types. -Powerful! Each of the outputs can deliver up to 660ma at 9v. Have 4 Strymon / Eventide / UA audio pedals that suck power? No problem with this little guy. -Power cable light and flexible. This uses a 2 prong (un grounded) wall plug and a lightweight cable. Not the standard thick and stiff 3 prong IEC type cable. -Can be powered in a multitude of ways. With the wall plug, by another power supply at 9-24v DC, or with a USB-C cable from your tablet or presumably phone (haven't tried that route yet). I believe anything under 24v DC lowers the maximim ma output but I don't see any published info on that. It's hard to get too excited over a power supply. But this one is really neat.

I have a CIOKS Adam underneath my Pedaltrain Nano. It's a nice little unit, and perfectly competitive with the Voodoo Lab supplies. (Although, this Adam actually screw-mounted perfectly underneath this board, and [at least at the time] Voodoo Lab didn't have one that would fit there.)

I actually just picked up one of the CIOKS 4 expander units. I got it to add a couple DC spots to my Truetone CS12. I've been meaning to re-do my big board for a while. Just haven't gotten around to doing it yet. Will be doing it probably sometime this upcoming spring though. But got this unit to add more isolated spots to my board. Definitely like the flexibility of this unit.

Another way to add isolated outputs to your current power supply is via the Gig Rig Isolator. It's tiny, weighs next to nothing and gives you 4 isolated outs from one of your power supply's outputs. It is limited to, I believe, 200ma though. So if you need more, the CIOKS is the way to go.

I use a CIOKS DC7 on both of our pedalboards - the large board additionally with a CIOKS 4 Expander. Very slim, powerful and flexible units - and they neatly fit under the Temple Audio boards I use, via a kit with screws. (Recently CIOKS and Temple Audio collaborated on an even more compact power supply for these boards - the HI5 MOD with 5 isolated outputs - quite nice ...)
