cioks type 2 – centre positive 5,5/2,1mm dc plug | to power pedals with reversed polarity

Cioks type 2 Flex cables are red and fitted with a centre positive 5,5/2,1mm DC plug.

This standard is less popular but also widely used in older or positive ground pedals. As for example the ’69 Pedal, Soulbender or Octafuzz from Fulltone or Voodoo Lab’s Proctavia.

Only compatible with Cioks power supplies.

Red Flex cable should also be used for Moogerfoogers, Radial Tonebones, Effectrode, some Diamond pedals, Blackstar for 22V DC or few Empress and Kingsley pedals.

We offer this Flex cable type with angled (L-shaped) plug and a 10mm barrel with cable lengths 30 or 50cm.

Here’s a list of pedals which we know need a centre positive polarity and therefore the red type 2 Flex cable:

• all Moogerfooger pedals *
• all Radial Tonebone pedals *
• Radial active DI boxes, reampers, splitters, interface boxes that need 15V DC *
• Diamond Halo Chorus, Memory Lane 1 and 2, ST-MIX, Phase, Vibrato and Bass Comp
• new Blackstar for 22V DC
• Empres Effects Superdelay and Vintage Modified Superdelay
• version B of Jester, Juggler, Jouster and Constable from Kingsley
• Roger Linn Adrenalinn I and II
• all Effectrode pedals
• Morpheus Droptune
• plus others not listed here

Always check the manual or label on the pedal to get the polarity of the Flex cable right.

* With all Radial units and Moogerfooger pedals you can use the standard red type 2 Flex cable which is included with all CIOKS power supply models except the Adam.

The red type 2 Flex cable is not included with any of our power supplies and should be ordered separately.
