Glad you came to the effects forum to let us know you don't use pedals.
I estimate mine at around 5-6 lbs.

Yes, 30 kg = 66 lbs.
I think i have a problem. I mean, i see lots of big boards around here, and i was amazed that everybody carried such heavy boards around. Got mine for a week or so and i want to split it in half.
Estimatives are just fine! No need to weight it, but people will start getting curious.

I've actually wondered this. I had a PTJr for a bit and just didn't like the weight when it was filled up, so I try to keep the gigging boards to 5 pedals or less. Guesstimate my main board is around [del]7 lbs[/del]. EDIT: huh, after seeing the pic below, my Nano can't be over 5 lbs. Maybe my plywood version is.

good question. I did a few gigs with a soundscape-y band recently and the bag with all the pedals (no board) weighed almost as much as my 1x12 Avatar cab. Not really fun in crowded public transport.
I am down to 6 pedals now, with the main offender in terms of weight (Whammy) replaced by a Pog. Probably 10-12 lbs or so now?

Well I am currently researching pedals for use as I'm not completely closed minded to the use of effects. 
Over the years mine has gone up and down from none to rack loads.
Right now its only 1lbs (Boss CS-3).
But it may grow again soon (tuner and board).

estimating mine at 5-7 pounds. I run 3 pedals. Korg pitchblack tuner A fuzz wren and cuff pickle pie b or a blackout musket, And my wireless reciever if you can count that as a pedal...
I've got an SKB PS-45 board, which by itself is 23 lbs.
With pedals, its probably hitting somewhere around 35 lbs. Roland gr-20, SA MWBD2, OC-2, filtertwin, tlc, tc flashback, SA exp pedal. I did have an m9 and a morley tm stevens wah on it. I'm trimming back now, before my back trims me!
