I need to obtain a battery powered set up to play my guitar tube amplifier though.. for now I want to get a inverter, pair of batteries, and a ac-dc charger. The main thing I believe I need is THE CLEANEST 1500 watt minimum pure sine wave inverter, but I want your recommendation on all that equipment.
My amplifier draws around 500 watts constantly, I have watched someone play the same amplifier out of a system running on 230 watts of solar panels, a single MPPT charge controller, one deep cycle battery, and a 1500 watt pure sine wave inverter, with no sound problems at all. Unfortunately they did not name the brands of the equipment.
I have obtained the nearly the cheapest 2000 watt pure sine wave inverter, a good lithium iron phosphate deep cycle battery, and a cheap battery charger rated for the battery and a battery monitor.
The set up worked perfectly, it done exactly what I needed. I would play until battery was at 50%, unhook everything, hook it up to the charger and let it charge, then do it again. Every time I hooked the inverter up in the order as I were directed by the instructions and google, I hooked the wires from the inverter onto the battery, it would spark on the battery when I hooked the last one up.
I played it for around ten hours minus charge time and then it started causing bad sound interference, it still put out proper voltage, but the interference was just as unplayable as my wall outlet.
I obtained a different brand of inverter, slightly more expensive, and it actually had a site it posted on how to run a guitar amplifier with their inverter. When it arrived it had even worse sound interference at the start and strangely enough was the exact same interference sound that comes out of my wall outlet.
The only thing I could find on playing a tube guitar amplifier to read was one guy said he plays a tube amplifier with a renogy 2000 watt pure sine wave inverter on solar power.
Right now I will probably obtain a renogy 2000 watt pure sine wave inverter first since it's cheaper, but I do have in my consideration the huge in comparison victron unit, that costs the price of around six of the renogy inverters, I don't remember the units exact details but it's pure sine wave that can run a air unit. I seen someone with a mobile recording studio and someone playing a small busking performance with this equipment
So while I would prefer to go smaller to increase my play until charge time, it will be relatively irrelevant when I run two batteries back and fourth like I intend to.. my main concern is the purity of the sine wave.. zero sound interference and proper grounding is key to my set up.
I plan on hooking it all together one time with on/off switches inbetween two batteries, into the inverter. That way I can avoid it sparking like it did every time, for all I know that's what made it fail, if you believe that to be true I beg you to let me know the reason you think it did, it worked so good it broke my heart when it failed. I think it could have been the spark on the battery every time I hooked it up, could have been the cheap charger, or the cheap battery charge monitor, the value of the batteries charge was off by thirty percent between the charger and the cheap monitor, however I went by the monitor and when it was new at 100% it read accurately and it never went below 50%, or it was just the cheap inverter.
But again the main thing would be that I need a recommendation on a quality pure sine wave inverter minimum 1500watts, a good quality battery,ac-dc charger, and a charge monitor.
Let me know your recommendation, I appreciate your help.
