OP
The band is playing tonight at a venue and I'll see if video is available from this performance too.

Takeaways:
I should have bought this stand years ago.
Postives:
Tilts amp up for better monitoring
Less beaming effect
Accessible/readable controls
Negatives:
The crossbrace is in the way of the speaker jacks in the cabinet.
But....
You can shift the cabinet sideways, like i did in these photos.
Or...
Use 90° speaker cables on the cabinet ends.
Or....
Just flip the speaker cabinet upside down.

More Takeaways...
The volume level problem is solved.
The new problem is that the Origin, despite sounding great on its own, doesn't have the right gain structure for this music project.
Even boosted with a TS-9, it just doesnt have the tight, percussive "chug" that this Halford-Fight project needs.

Back in 2018, my bandleader encouraged me to buy this brand new, never sold, Line 6 Spider II HD-75 and we used it for one show at Mojave Wasteland Weekend.
I'm gonna drag it out of storage...

Ok, here's a quick test of the 1993 Marshall Valvestate Bi-Chorus 200, no FX...
OP
And here's the Line 6 Spider II HD-75 also with zero FX. This thing really surprised me!!!!
OP
What I like about the Line 6 is how the built-in noise gate on 'Insane" mode (the gate is not adjustable) keeps everything so quiet.
All my Marshalls are noisy, even my 100 watt solid state.
Hmmmm....

OP
The Origin is a great amp, but lack of a Monster Volume limits it for this kind of work.
Even with a gain pedal, Ola Englund couldn't get ot to chug.
