Every day at midnight UTC the catalog deals one pedal. Guess any pedal from the picker and the board grades five attributes: brand, effect family, era, street-price bracket, and whether the two pedals are circuit neighbors, meaning the editors paired them in the catalog. A filled tile is a match. An arrow tile points at where the answer sits: earlier or later, cheaper or pricier.

Miss 2 guesses and the clue ledger opens a tone note. Miss 4 and it names a famous user. Miss 5 and it tells you what the pedal is famous for, at which point you have no excuse.

Solve it or run out of guesses and you get the full catalog entry, the Suede verdict, and a spoiler-free grid to paste into whatever argument you are currently losing. Streaks live in your browser. Nobody is watching. Lie to no one but yourself.
