Eventide PowerMini Compact Universal Power Supply by CIOKS Reviews
If you keep your pedalboard small and simple but have pedals that require differing voltages, finding the right power supply is difficult. You have to search for a flexible unit that can still fit within the size restrictions of your board. Fortunately, Eventide's PowerMini Compact Power Supply can help you end that search today. This incredibly compact power supply offers four total outlets. The first two are locked in at 9V DC, which is great for powering standard pedals. The remaining pair of outlets are switchable between 9, 12, 15, and 18 volts, making it easy to give your pedals the voltage they need. When we tested the PowerMini at Sweetwater, we were impressed by the universal power supply. This feature accommodates input voltages from 90–265V. You may be wondering why that's awesome. Let us explain: you can play in Australia one week, Japan the next, play a gig in China before swinging through Monaco and France. Then you can finish the last leg of your tour on home soil without experiencing any compatibility issues. You can use the PowerMini as a standalone unit or as an expansion for your Eventide PowerMAX power supply. Whether you're looking for a compact power supply or an extension for an existing supply, you can't go wrong with the Eventide PowerMini.

Tiny, Flawless
I love this little guy, it might be the smallest switch mode supply out there (deck of cards-ish) and is powerful and flexible enough for 99% of pedals. Not to mention its bomb proof and reasonably priced. Cioks is just unbeatable.
Works well
I bought this for my smaller pedal board, as it makes for faster set up and tear down. It powers a Peterson pedal, Keeley Roto pedal, Spark boost and TC Helicon Voice Live acoustic AND fits underneath the small On Stage pedal board. I've had no issues w/the pedals.
Great for small boards with multi-fx
I don't have a lot of pedals, but most I have are multi-fx pedals that have pretty high current demand. This has worked fabulously for me. I'm running a Shure GLXD16 wireless, Zoom B3n, and TC Helicon Voicelive Play. They have some higher current demands and the Helicon is 12V. This power block covers all my pedal needs with room to grow!
solid and quiet
My main power supply is a Pedal Power 2+ from Voodoo Labs, but I now have more pedals than it has outputs. I liked the size of the PowerMini, I liked that it has high current (500mA) for all ports, and I really like the selectable voltage supply on 2 of the ports. I've been using this for a bout a month, and I'm a fan. It's quiet, fits on my homemade board, and I like to run my Prince of Tone at 12V. I'll definitely be looking hard at other Cioks (or Eventide by Cioks) power supplies in a few years when/if I decide to upgrade from my PP2+.
Awesome power supply
Everything I wanted out of a power supply. Super easy to use, really compact, very flexible and gives me a clean sound. Everything you need is in the box too, including a sticker with the diagram showing how to switch the voltage. The hype around the Cioks stuff is real. If it's in the budget, just go for it.
I should have done this earlier.
I had been relying on a single power supply, feeding a daisy chain to my pedals. I was constantly experiencing power issues. My pedals would have glitches, seeming to lose power, or peak out causing noise issues. I had discarded power cables, patch cables and even a compressor, thinking that they were malfunctioning. Ryan, my sales advisor, said that the problem would be solved with with this PowerMini. I'm only using a tuner & compressor pedals on a small board, so this unit fit the bill. If I had done this earlier, it would have eliminated lots of frustration, and saved $$$ as well. A small investment to fix an ongoing problem.
Awesome Power Supply
Using it for my Eventide H9 @ 12v, Xotic Sp @ 18v, Mesa Boogie Flux Drive @ 9v and occasional with other 9v pedals. This unit is smaller than most basic stomp boxes and fits well under a pedalboard. Clean signal. Well made. The bonus is Sweetwater's services. Excellent!
Super happy with this!
Really powerful little power supply. Really well made. Fits flawlessly under my pedaltrain nano board, the one that's 14"x5.5"x1". I read online that there were few power supplies that fit under the nano. This one looks like it was custom made to fit. I'm using 2 strymon pedals and an Eventide H9 and this has more than enough juice for that setup. Highly recommend this!
Nice Unit, Innacurate Pic
Nice compact power supply. It is easily configurable for different voltages and supplies the milliamps I need. Easily powers my tube pedal at 12v 500 mA.
The only issue is the power supply for the pedal. The pictue shows a power brick with a IEC type wall plug. The pedal actualy comes with a wall-wart plug. This is disappointing because these are used for pedalboards and no one wants a wall wart for their pedalboard.
