The MR10 is a rack-mount effects loop system, developed by Danish guitar and bass rig unit producer, Skrydstrup R&D. Skrydstrup, who mainly specialise in signal routing, have been producing the loop units since the 1990s, starting with the MR8 and going onto the MR9 and this one, the MR10. Skrydstrup loopers read both CC messages and MIDI program change. The MR10 unit allows for up to 10 loops, with each of them having buffers.

Skrydstrup units are used by artists such as David Gilmour of Pink Floyd and The Scorpions.

Wolstenholme uses the Skrydstrup MR10 between The Resistance and Drones tours (and possibly earlier). Allthough he still used it during The Resistance tour, he slowly replaced the Sound Sculpture Switchblade GL loop system with this one, because it is primarily an analog I/O system; a signal which doesn't get affected, as opposed to the Switchblade, which was a matrix-based system. He has two of the MR10 units for three loops going into three amps. The last four loops of unit one go to amp 1, the first six of unit one go to amp 2 and the 10 loops of the second unit go to amp three.

The MR10 was also used by Bellamy between The Resistance and Drones, and replaced the Sound Sculpture Switchblade GL, probably for the same reason.

For the Simulation Theory tour, both Chris and Matt upgraded the MR10's with the RJM Effect Gizmo loop systems.
