High-Current Power Expansion for Neural DSP Quad Cortex & Digital Modelers

The Guitar Sanctuary is proud to offer the CIOKS Crux, the ultimate add-on power solution for digital modeling floorboards and high-draw multi-effects units. Designed as a dedicated expansion module for 24V DC power systems, the Crux taps into the 24V DC Link auxiliary output on the CIOKS DC7, Strymon Zuma, or Walrus Audio Canvas Power series to convert it into a massive, single high-current power source—eliminating the need for bulky external wall-wart adapters or multi-outlet current doubler cables.

Specially engineered to meet the demanding current requirements of units like the Neural DSP Quad Cortex, Line 6 HX Stomp, HX Effects, and Fractal Audio FM3, the Crux offers simple toggle-switchable output options: 9V DC at a full 2700mA or 12V DC at 2000mA. Featuring an ultra-slim 1-inch (25.4mm) steel profile, the Crux mounts seamlessly under Pedaltrain, Temple Audio, and other popular pedalboards using the drill-free CIOKS Grip Bracket or included mounting hardware.

Note: The CIOKS Crux requires a 24V DC power source to operate (such as the 24V DC aux output on a CIOKS DC7, CIOKS C8E, Strymon Zuma, or Walrus Audio Canvas supply). It does not plug directly into an AC wall outlet.

Universal 24V DC Compatibility:

• CIOKS Integration: Connects directly to the 24V DC Link output on the CIOKS DC7 or C8E expander.
• Strymon Integration: Fully compatible with the 24V DC Out port on the Strymon Zuma power supply.
• Walrus Audio Integration: Fully compatible with 24V DC power link ports on the Walrus Audio Canvas Power series.
