About how much does a 6u rack weight when fully loaded?
At the risk of coming across like a wise ***, as much as the components + the rack weigh.

Modern lightweight heads are considerably lighter than an all tube monstrosity.

My 8u rack weighs over 100lbs but that's because I'm dumb enough to house an Ampeg head in it. Most results will be significantly less.
 
BBE Tmax & Crown XLS1500 wo hoo :)

The band I gig with most is a classic rock cover band & we gig a lot. I have a GT10b & love it but it occurred to me that in this band I was only using a few select effects on a regular basis so the GT10b was overkill to the max & I was very tired of carrying the GT10b & the "heavy" road case it was in ... so I decided to trim my pedalboard way down.

I built the pedalboard out of 1/2 in PVC & covered it in Velcro top & bottom & made it small enough to fit in the back of my rack for transport. I've gigged a few times now with this setup so far its worked great.

(I normally have a 1980"s BF-2 on here but it died on me)
