K.E.S KIP-RISER VIII - Dual-Function Pedal Riser & Isolated Power Supply

The KIP-RISER VIII is a high-performance power supply housed in a heavy-duty enclosure designed to serve as a pedal riser. This unique "2-in-1" concept was born from an idea by artist Hirofumi Takamatsu (THE NOVEMBERS) and refined into a professional power solution that reclaims valuable real estate on your pedalboard.

The "High-Tension" Advantage

Following our signature power philosophy, the 9.4V ports are tuned to deliver 9.8V (unloaded) and maintain a rock-solid 9.4V even under high load. This mimics the response of a fresh 9V battery, providing analog dirt pedals with enhanced "bite," harmonic thickness, and top-end clarity.

Key Features

• Space-Saving Riser Design: Eliminate the footprint of your power supply by mounting your pedals directly on top of it. The rugged metal chassis is built to withstand the rigors of touring.

• 8 Fully Isolated Outputs: Features individual grounds for every port to eliminate ground loop hum and digital interference.

• High-Current & Multi-Voltage Support: * Two 800mA ports for power-hungry digital units.

  • Two Selectable ports (9V/12V/18V) for versatile voltage requirements.

• Efficient Heat Dissipation: The chassis itself acts as a massive heat sink, ensuring stable operation even when pushing the unit to its maximum 27W capacity.

Important Usage Notes

[!IMPORTANT]

Noise & Placement: Due to the nature of pedal risers, some high-gain distortion or modulation pedals may be sensitive to external electromagnetic interference depending on their proximity to the internal transformers. If you experience noise, we recommend adjusting the placement of the pedals on the riser.

Voltage Compatibility: Ports 1, 2, and 5–8 deliver 9.4V+. Ensure your pedals can handle voltages slightly higher than 9.0V before use.
