Here’s what Morningstar say:

ML5R is a reorderable loop switcher that redefines your approach to audio effects. Experience entirely new sounds from your existing effects – just by switching up their order. Its sleek, intuitive interface enables you to switch the order of your effects quickly, whenever you want.

No Editor Required

Everything you can do on ML5R, you can do on ML5R. Set loop Order, Bypass and Trails with just a few simple switch presses.

Set Order

Simply press the loop buttons in your desired order, and the effect loops will be arranged accordingly. In the example below, the order is B > A > D > C > E.

Set Bypass

Select the loops that you want engaged when you recall an ML5R preset. Bypassed loops can be engaged individually after a preset has been recalled.

Set Trails

Enable spillover trails for your desired loop.

Save

Save your custom loop order, bypass states and trails as a preset in any of the 128 user slots. Simply send ML5R a Program Change message from 0 to 127 to recall your desired presets.

Full MIDI Capabilities

Scroll through presets, toggle individual loops on/off, rearrange loop order, control master mute and more. Take full control of ML5R with your MIDI controller.

If you use a Morningstar MIDI controller, a dedicated ML5R message type allows quick and easy access to all functions without needing to refer to any MIDI chart.

MIDI

MIDI pedals use the Musical Instrument Digital Interface standard to communicate with other guitar pedals, effects units, and hardware. They allow control over presets, parameters, and switching across multiple devices from a single controller. MIDI integration makes it possible to build complex, synchronised pedal setups while keeping control simple and consistent.

New

This is brand new, fresh in, and a UK warranty is included. New Gear always comes from trusted UK music retailers.

Switcher

Switcher refers to a guitar pedal or pedalboard unit that allows multiple pedals or signal paths to be controlled from a single device. A switcher can turn several pedals on or off at once, change signal order, or recall preset combinations, helping players manage complex pedal setups cleanly and reliably, especially in live situations.
