  • A quick video showing how we get a perfect finish on our tolexed control panel cut outs.
    Did you know Modulus sells tolex... we do.

    This was very helpful. I am trying this for the first time today on a Peavey Delta Blues. I need this technique for the area around the speaker grill and the area at the top control knobs. I took lots of photos while I removed the old tolex to keep track of the cuts but this video puts me at ease on those areas.

    thank you, I have only done speaker cabs (which are easier to do) and I'm planning to do some amp head shells soon so this is exactly what I needed to learn, great!

    Super helpful. Thanks a bunch for posting.
    Would love a “how to” for the top tube vent. I’m building a Hiwatt and as the top vent is a fairly squared off rectangle and no bevel it seems a bit tricky.

    Excellent. I always made a hash of this , to the point where I changed the design of my cabs but I might change back after seeing this

      It even easier with a bigger radius in the corner. But once you get the hang of it it is easy every time

    Good instruction. I would prefer to use a steel ruler i.o. of the plexi rear panel to cut the left over pieces

    How would you cover the inner edges if the chassis window was a complete rectangle with square (or very slightly rounded) internal corners.

    • @ModulusAmps
      @ModulusAmps  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      You have to V cut the tolex and fill the gap. There are different ways to do the fill, some companies don't even bother though

    Thanks for sharing this video.
    What about recovering original tolex (in fine condition) with fresh tolex? Is it okay to add a second layer, or is it best to remove the original tolex and start fresh? Seems like the second layer would make it all the more durable.
    In my case I'd like to change a white tolex covering for black.

    I am preparing to recover my Marshall JTM45 head. I’ve removed the old tolex and piping. What is a good way to remove the old contact cement with out harming the wood? Or, do I even need to remove it? Please advise, thanks!

    • @ModulusAmps
      @ModulusAmps  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Apply thinners or Turpintine to soften the glue and use a stanley blade to scrape it off. gentle sand afterwards

      Thanks! I found a chemical called xylol xylene. It turned that 30+ year old contact cement into jelly and scraped it off very easily.

      @ModulusAmps  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      It's a contact adhesive with latex in it.. not the normal contact adhesive that will soften/melt tolex
