Can I run the Axe Fx II off of solar power?

ok, so someone else worked for you, for you to be able to buy the axe and the van and and and...

But what is work, my friend? It's all how you look at it.

nope

This will happen! I promise. I plan to capture as much of mother nature's beautiful soundscape as I can!

Using solar power might make everything too bright.

What a plot twist! I never even took this into consideration.

Is this my daughters boyfriend?

Is this a proposal?

First thing I thought of when he mentioned living in a van was...
The SNL skit where Chris Farley lives in a van down by the river!

Classic!

I've got a cheapo chinese inverter feeding lab equipment with 8% losses.
Just make sure the battery cells' end voltage is enough to keep your devices on when they run out of power. That way you'll squeeze em out good without the excess work of any voltage regulator.

Thanks for this insight! Definitely will apply this knowledge.

I have no idea how you buy a van, AxeFx, and studio equipment when you've never worked a single day in your life?

I'm right there with you, my friend. All I know is that I go to sleep grateful, wake up grateful, and the rest is taken care of. I've had jobs since I was 14, but still don't even know what work is. All I do is live and love.

Honestly can't stand you right now.

If the solar panels has enough power, what you need is a pure sine wave inverter so you have no interference in your gear! Pure sine wave inverters cost many $$$$$ but... this seems not to e a prob for you!

Nothing wrong with doing things different brother....life is short. I like your attitude. I started watching this thread because of the solar power question. I have always wanted to live on a sailboat.....no shame in what your trying to do! Good luck!

Plus, I've always wanted to go on tour, but haven't had a good opportunity to do so.

I'd suggest getting a good insurance policy on the van + contents. I can imagine it getting razed while you are jamming in a bar.

I appreciate your kind words! We are always capable of everything that we can believe is a possibility. Sometimes it requires a little sacrifice and a lot of determination, but it's always worth it. What's left behind is only what we realize we never wanted. What's gained is beyond what we can even imagine that we desire. Peace and clarity are the motive. A sailboat would be a beautiful home. We shall live our dreams! We're the only ones that can make that happen. No one else.

Thank you! Definitely didn't even consider that in my game plan. Very useful.

If you're still wondering what an APC is, it stands for Armored Personnel Carrier.
