Comments on: You got an extra $1200? http://www.signalresponse.com/2008/03/you-got-an-extra-1200/ just a bunch of useless junk.

The foot switch is an extra $130. I'm sure that you can get it for less now that the dollar is a little better but, holy smokes. And for that price you only get 16 MB of memory on a SIMM. Seems to me that the "wave of the future" would be a card based system that is user replaceable or at least using normal SDRAM so that you could bump that storage up to store complete songs (2 GB would be nice). You would kind of think this is possible now and the cost of RAM is so cheap. Problem is, it's a tough thing to do the wait and see on because I doubt this is one of Gibson's biggest sellers so they would either do a refresh of the line or drop it all together. If they drop it, you're looking at eBay and then, that sucks.</p> Yeah, it’s crazy expensive. The foot switch is an extra $130.
