Mounting hardware
We’ve included all the needed hardware to mount the power supply on top or underneath a
Pedaltrain pedalboard. You can of course also attach it to boards of other brands. Look on
CIOKS web site for more information and mounting guides.
Not included accessories
Mains Link Adapter or Mains link cable
This adapter or cable type allows you to link two or more of the link power supplies together
and power several units using one single mains power cord.
Mains Adapter – universal
This mains adapter is available as a kit incl. mounting hardware to secure the connection. It
converts the IEC C13 mains outlet into two universal wall type mains outlets (one EU/US/UK
type and one EU/US type) allowing you to connect two adapters of the plug-in type or any
other mains powered appliances of your choice to it and power them via the courtesy outlet.
More Flex cables and Booster Flex
To power one pedal using one outlet you simply use a single suitable standard Flex cable and
that’s it. In case the plug type or length you need is not included with your unit there’s a big
selection of standard Flex cables to choose from and order them separately. In case of an odd
voltage or current requirement you might need one of the Special Flex cables available. Please
read more about these and how to use them on CIOKS web site. They really open up for even
more versatility and flexibility in terms of what you can power with your unit.
Powering different pedal types
This issue is different for every individual rig, therefore please e-mail your specific questions

CIOKS AC Rider link
Power Supply for Effect Pedals
User’s Manual
reversion 1.0
Introduction
Since 1991 the Danish company CIOKS has been providing guitar and bass players with
reliable power supplies dedicated for effect pedals. After our very first product CIOKS Baby
power supply was out in 1991, the Big John and Double Jack were launched in year 1995.
Three more units were introduced in 2007 forming our Standard range of dedicated power
supplies for effect pedals.
To follow our slogan "More power, more features, more design", we have in 2013 launched
CIOKS link range. Three of the Standard range products have been dramatically upgraded and
went through a spectacular face-lift, where the only thing left are their original names. CIOKS
Schizophrenic link, Big John link and AC Rider link were our new babies in year 2013. Small
size, yet very powerful and each model with an individual character and force. The unique
mains link feature allows you to merge two or more power supplies giving you the possibility
to create a power supply bank matching your individual needs. Just one single mains power
cord will power two or three power supplies, where you always have a courtesy AC mains
outlet available on the last unit. You can of course also use them as standalone power supplies,
getting just one to start with and extend with time.
The new CIOKS AC Rider link power supply is an excellent solution for powering small pedal
boards with one pedal needing AC power source plus a mix of low current DC pedals and
maybe a single medium current one. The first four outlets are divided in two isolated sections
offering voltages 9 and 12V DC and a max. current of 200mA per section. For the AC pedal
you have voltages 9 or 12V AC available on the last two outlets at a max. current of 800mA,
which is enough to power almost any AC pedal on the market incl. the Line6 M9.
Features
• 6 outlets configured in 3 isolated sections
• powerful AC section with 9 or 12V AC
• short circuit protection of all outlets
• advanced LED monitoring of each section
• 120 or 230V mains voltage operation
• detachable mains power cord
• courtesy AC mains outlet
• CIOKS unique mains link feature
• 9 Flex cables included
• very easy mounting with pedalboards, all needed hardware included
• compatible with Pedaltrain pedalboards
