At street prices, the ToneCore "modules" sell for 
30 to 70 USD. They go into "docking pedals" that 
are $70 (mono) and $80 (stereo). Then there's the 
TonePort GX USB Recording Interface for $70 
(89.99 list), which comes with GearBox "effects 
design" software. To quote MF.com:

         "The included GearBox software provides 
a hardware-like, easy-to-navigate interface for 
dialing up the perfect tone­taken directly from 
the POD and ready for your guitar, bass, and 
vocals. Instantly access meticulously crafted 
models of 23 classic and modern guitar/bass amps, 
29 guitar/bass speaker cab models, and 30 
stompbox and studio effects, as well as models of 
6 studio-standard vocal preamps."

So, with a little luck, the development kit will 
be cheap, like the price of a docking pedal with 
a USB port. Under $100 bucks without a module.

The cost of programmable modules should be 
similar to that of pre-programmed modules, I guess.

I wonder how they expect us to make panel graphics?
