PlayinOcean Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 Greetings, After a long time of just running my HX FX into the front of my amp, I finally decided to buy the Stomp to have a direct solution. The idea is to combine them, using midi and possibly 4CM if needed (think Ill just use the Stomp to handle the effects before or after the amp sim). == Yes, maybe I should have bought an LT to begin with, but this is modular and I can still just use my old setup with my amp without taking a big LT with me. == It's going to require quite a few cables to connect all of this (4CM + midi + exp pedal(s?) + 2x power supply). Therefore I'm thinking of creating a small pedalboard with just the Stomp, HXFX and an exp pedal. For power, I know the DC7 from Cioks would work, using the appropiate cables. However, I would then be using only a fraction of the potential of the expensive DC7. My question: would the Cioks Sol also be able to power this? I can't quite figure out what the difference is between the DC7 and the Sol, apart from the amount of outputs... It seems to me that I would use 4 out of the 5 outputs of the Sol (using two y-cables), leaving one open for possible additions. Or am I missing something? Powering pedals is very new to me. Or is there another power supply that would be worth checking out? (preferably cheaper..) Any help/advice would be appriciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schmalle Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 The HX Stomps power supply is rated 3A@9V. This is more than sufficient to power both units. You just need a split adapter cable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adinism Posted March 13, 2024 Share Posted March 13, 2024 Hey, from what i know, the SOL is like the younger brother of the DC7. The DC7 has more output ports and has a passthrough to connect extension units like the DC8 or the Crux if you have a huge board etc... but otherwise they're mostly similar. Yes the SOL will work for what you're describing - you're right about the current doubler cable. This one in particular was recommended by a user also: https://logsdonaudio.com/cables/for-cioks-dc7-power-supply-and-line6-pedals-current-doubler-cable This will connect to the CIOKS power output RCA type connection, plus it's bundled into one simple cable. Hope i'm not too late with the input, cheers! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
