I don't like that stuff.......you name it.....it sticks to that stuff. Must be cheaper than sealing the exterior of a cabinet with epoxy paint.

Hate it! I had some Avatar cabs covered in it. Only reason I have an old Galleon Krueger cab covered in it is it was given to me and I had a15” Eminence Kappa Pro LFA I put in it.

And. One rolling road case that my Allen Heath Mix Wizard WZ 16:2 sits in along with the power amps.

Back in the early 90's we were playing in a club where the stage was in a corner and had a low ceiling. Our drummer had his fuzzy covered vocal monitor sitting atop a couple drum cases so it was up above his floor tom. There was a truss with 4 1000 watt PAR lights right above it. Our sound man came running up to the stage in a panic because the fuzzy stuff on the monitor was smoking profusely. The heat from the lights had melted some of the fuzz on the fabric. Nobody on stage knew because everyone but the drummer was at the front of the stage with their backs to it. That was back when smoking was allowed in clubs and you could hardly see the back of the room anyway because of it.

It's called Ozite in the business and was developed as a cheap and tough carpet for vehicle floor mats and trunk liners. It gets ratty-looking real fast...especially if you have a cat in the house. Peel that nasty off, sand the cab smooth, and shoot it with several coats of Rustoleum Pickup Truck Bedliner. It's dead-easy to apply, it looks like seamless black Tolex, it's super tough, and it's stupid simple to repair if necessary (fill the ding, sand smooth, blast with the stuff). If you try this, I found using multiple light coats, successively applied with some dry time between, works much better than one or two heavy coats because it tends to run on vertical surfaces when it's wet. Here's a homebrew Leslie cab I built and "covered" with the Rustoleum:

I always assumed it was felt. Now that I think about it, felt wouldn't be as strong.
Fabrics can hide a lot of damage while other things will scuff or tear, but yeah... not a fan. It worked well for tweed, though.
Years ago someone told me about a trick to rehab the old stuff by using either electric hair clippers or an electric razor (I forget which) to take off the weird fuzziness and pilling. I haven't tried it myself and can't vouch for it.
