Can't find the Pedalboard in GarageBand

Hey, I'm pretty new to GarageBand, and a lot of tutorials I've watched talk about using a feature called the Pedalboard. They all seem to have it as part of the same toolbar that "Window" and "File" sit on, but it just doesn't exist in mine. Does it not exist in GarageBand 2018? Is it an extra plug-in I have to get? I can't seem to find a download for it. Literally every forum I go to talks like it should just be there, but I can't find it for the life of me and I'm supremely frustrated.

Anybody know if I'm just blind or something? Or is it really not in the 2018 GarageBand? A lot of the tutorials I've seen are from 2017, but given how highly-praised it is, I can't imagine them discontinuing it. So where the heck is it? Even if I try to Search for it nothing comes up. I'm lost.

What is the version number of the GarageBand version you are using?

The pedalboard button is only available, if you have an electric guitar track selected. Then the Pedelboard plug-in will automatically be added to the plug-ins for the track.

For a different kind of audio track you can add the plug-in manually.

But for a software instrument track the button will not appear, even if you add the plug-in to the track. This screenshot is from version 10.3.1.
