Just because I'm obsessed with everything expensive, I'd like to know which is the most expensive effects pedal/unit (including rackmounts) that you know of

This is the most expensive Boss size pedal I could find at £319.61......
There is a price point above which I would n't want to be stomping on something. |

Stompbox! Eventides are pretty hefty themselves. Along with BJFE.
Or if you get crazy old school, retro things sell CRAZY expensive if they work. Like Jet Phasers and Bi-Phasers and the like. Is the Bi-Phaser a pedal? I forget..

If you want the polished chrome Toneczar Echoczar, that'll be $825
If we're going used, a certain mod around here spent 2,000 for a Schumann PLL a little ways back.
I remember seeing something about a custom D*A*M going for like 2600 bucks.
I know that I've seen original Shin Ei Univibes going for around that much |

edit: here's a pair on ebay for $45,000
for new pedals:
the fulltone tube tape echo is pretty high at around $1100
I guess the moog taurus 3 is a "pedal" at $2k

The HOG is one of EHX's priciest, but it's worth every penny. |
