The gang over at Reverb.com loves to test guitarists' knowledge about, well, guitars and other tools of the trade.

Just ask Vince Gill, who just sat through Reverb's rigorous vintage-guitar quiz. And let's not forget Reverb's annoyingly difficult gear quiz from last year, "Can You Identify These Guitars by Their Headstocks?"

Anyway, the minds behind these and other "crazy hard" quizzes have come up with a new one, and it's the ultimate test of pedal nerdery.

Take the quiz below, and see how your effect expertise stacks up. Good luck!
