Overview
Meet the EX5, the first in our new Utility Series line of products!
You may have noticed that little 1/8″ jack on our pedals labels “Ext. Control Interface”. This was added to allow for control of our pedals via an external means, such as a switcher, or what have you. Our intention all along was to eventually offer a product to utilize this port, and that’s where the EX5 comes in. The cool thing — it also controls our non-MIDI amps! With quick and easy plug ‘n play, you can operate the Ares, Juno, and Orthos, plus all our pedals. The EX5 is aptly named as it has 5 external control outputs, each an isolated TRS connection with two independent contacts.

The way the EX5 works is the TR for each output are counted incrementally — so Out 1/T is Loop 1. Out 1/R is Loop 2. Out 2/R is Loop 4. And, so on.
The MOM CCs are for momentary clicks.

This pedal is very creative! KSR has a great line of pedals and amps that are not midi capable. But when you add this device in it gives you full control to make that happen. I got this to build a small midi rig with my Vesta, and Hera.

As with all KSR products, this one works really well and is super easy to use. I’m using it to control a non-midi amp. The setup is super simple and it does exactly what it’s supposed to do. I’ve owned 2 KSR amps, 2 pedals, and now this box, and I’m always impressed with the build quality and how the KSR team is always great to work with. I only had 1 small issue with one product and they were quick to help fix it.
