Black tweed
I've seen a few cabinets covered in black tweed lately, and they look really, really cool. Where can we buy the material?

Before I built all my own amps, I used to own a Peavey Classic 30 in black tweed-ish/carbon fiber looking tolex. It was pretty sharp looking.

No, but that's very nice!
I just exchanged emails with Mojotone--they said they apply typical blonde tweed, then dye it black.

Re: Black tweed
Oh that makes sense. You could probably mix some black dye in with shellac and kill two birds with one stone.

I think you asked about this material:

As far as I know, this tolex made by Kayline. You just need to find a local dealer.

Re: Black tweed
You can take tweed and stain it virtually any color- mohawk brand stain works really well and you can control intensity by diluting the stain down with alcohol, do a few sample runs, notate ratios.. The secret to applying it is no runs or drips, work flat for consistency... Once its settled in - seal with lacquer, no tint..
