Are you in the US? Then $1000 doesn't sound bad for 24/7 on-call. But is it an extortion? It depends how do you sell it. If you try to strongarm them, that could come off badly. If you simply tell them "look folks, when we agreed on my renumeration, there was 1 extra dev, and I could drink a beer after work. Now things have changed quite a bit - let's talk a bit about money" - this feels differently (at least to me. Please take into consideration that I'm very bad at many things, but I'm especially bad at social cues)

Hey, yep I'm in the US. Thanks! Yeah I feel like more explanation is probably better.
