I think I saw them somewhere around $650 in the Thoroughbred catalog, or
about 1/6 the price of a certain guitar I bought recently. Not sure about
the footpedal price.  "Too much" is sort of an eye of the beholder's bank
account thing, I guess. 

Funny thing about music gear pricing: no matter what the price is, there 
are
a bunch of people complaining loudly that it is too much. No matter how 
much
you lower the price, they never buy it, because they're broke! Yet at any
price point, there seem to be plenty of people quietly buying. Lexicon 
sells
their $2000 reverbs, Eventide sells their $4000 harmonizers. When I worked
at Gibson, it always amazed me that the custom shop had the audacity to
produce guitars and price them at $20,000 and beyond. I mean, they're nice
guitars, but $20,000, $30,000, $60,000????  But what amazed me even more
than the prices, is they never have any trouble selling them all.....
