[QUOTE="Tim McCulloch, post: 209402, member: 67"] This has been discussed over at ProSoundWeb a few years back. IIRC the consensus was that a single WhisperWatt or similar "real generator" be used, followed by a large inverter generator like the Honda EU7000, then a pair of smaller inverter generators with the parallel kit. Nobody was particularly comfortable with the idea of separate generators for back line and PA, even if there we no direct inputs taken from bass rigs or keyboards. We can get into the "why" that separate gensets are a bad idea if someone needs schooling... but it only takes 1 mis-wired quad box, extension cord or vintage guitar amp to put 120V between the microphone and guitar strings, the only thing separating them being the air space between the microphone and the guitarist's lips.
