Hey, but I bet it sounds heftier than what it weighs! I'm jealous man...although, if I were you, I'd get a hand truck for that.

Yeah it sounds like a million pounds of amp. Every now and then I'll try to use my 800RB at a gig and it's just no comparison. And yes I do use a hand cart for it otherwise I'd have a triple hernia!

About 80 lbs., not including the 10 lb. APC power conditioner I use, which doesn't sit in the rack. My scale's not very accurate, but adding the published weights of what I can find, I estimate about 79 lbs or so, plus the JoeMeek unit (no pub'd weight). On the scale, I'm 160 lbs by myself, and somewhere around 240 holding the rack--it's hard to get a good reading while trying to peer around an 80 lb. rack to look at the scale!

The little rig is a Trace Elliot V-Type head (about 55 lbs). Both rigs usually go through a TE 2102 and a TE 1153 (for a combined weight of about 125 lbs.)

So that brings the total weight of the big rig to about 205 lbs...eek.
