Frequently Asked Questions

Cioks' isolated outputs prevent ground loops and interaction between pedals, a huge upgrade over basic daisy chains that can introduce noise and erratic behavior.
While the 6W per output is generous, some very power-hungry pedals might exceed that limit; check individual pedal specifications carefully.
The included cables are thoughtfully selected and cover a wide variety of connection scenarios; they represent a genuine value and save you from buying individual cables.
