What are you using to power it? I'm going with the hx stomp (9v ∞ mA)two notes opus,(12v 200mA) and a hotone ampero control (9v 200mA I think) I saw this little 4 port cioks that'll seem to work. Dies anyone ha e Xp on this tool

IMO you're on the right track with the Cioks. I have an Eventide Powermax on my larger board (made by Cioks, similar to their DC7) and it's SUPER solid.
If you want to ditch electrical plugs altogether, you can do what I just did with my mini board and use a beefy power bank.
This one has 9v and 12v outputs.
I have a CIOKS 4 on a Pedaltrain Nano board running the HX Stomp, Empress Comp and Sushi Box Finally (400mA @ 9v, ~500mA @12v) and it works great. You'll need to power the Stomp off of 2 of the CIOKS ports using either their Parallel adapter cable or some other current doubling cable.

The smallest board I ran mine on was a Metro 16 with a Powermini (Eventide's Cioks 4 cousin) under it. I use the Strymon power adapter to power the Powermini when I separated it from my DC7. Worked very well!
I had gotten one of those power adapters thinking my current power source could manage, but my 9s only ran at 200mA and wasn't enough oomph. Nice to know th cioks can manage it..
Cioks 4 for HX Effects + Atomic Firebox + G30 Relay. I bought the bundle with the 24v adapter.
Ii couldn't find anything at that price point. I guess the assumption by industry is that if you have cheap power, you'll have cheap pedals
I actually have a onespot, but no extension cables at all. it is 9v, 1700mA. What exactly would I need to add to it to power
HX Stomp
SourceAudio C4
Line6 G-30
Use the plug that came with the hx, for the hx.
Grab one of these and throw it on your one spot for the other 2. You should be good

I got the Truetone L6 and CYR1 (about $3 each) and now the stomp runs off the truetone. Furthermore, I got an mc5 for daisychaining (another $9) and now all 3 pedals run off the truetone and it seems fine.
Furthermore, I even plugged in my vocal pedal to it, TC Helicon voicelive play, which wants 12v and 400mA and everything STILL works fine. I didn’t try it for hours, but it did work, which kind of surprised me.
I got the current doubler mc2 ($6) as well, but don’t seem to need it?

I guess the pedals are a bit socialist…to each according to its needs. Only the fancy power bricks have dedicated current for each connector, the daisy chain just lets it flow where it’s drawn. That makes sense. I’ll probably still use the dedicated power for the 12v pedal, because that just seems like pushing my luck otherwise.
