Put a brick on it.

Y’all... I thought you were experts... sheesh

here’s what you do: Attach straps to the amp so you can wear it like a fanny pack and get a really long speaker cable.

Finally there is something positive to say about rat fur, everything sticks to rat fur,

Does the amp only work when placed atop a cab during 'action'?

Quite.
I was going to say put the amp on something else, not the cabinet.
But if you have to play that loud you need a bigger cabinet. Or a quieter guitarist.

Weld a 30 lb. weight to it? Bonus, I hear the extra weight will add "mojo" to your sound!

Hook & loop strips just like a pedalboard if your amp isn't bottom vented. Loop strip on cabinet. Hook strip on amp.

Or you can rackmount your amp to make it heavier.

Nope. My Eden 2x12 has rat fur and my amp was vibrating damn near off it.

ooh, this gives me a great idea. How about putting the cabinet on top of the amp?

Your Fdeck cab really is compact. Nice touch with the top jack.

Did you modify your HPF (side jacks)?

I use the industrial strength velcro on the amp feet and top of cabinet.

I have the same amp, same HPF, and a very similar cab! I also use Velcro.

I bought one of these:

https://www.walmart.com/ip/Serger-Sewing-Mat-11-x-14/41291394?wmlspartner=wlpa&selectedSellerId=1453

It is a mat for sewing machines. Looks good and rolls up.

Nope, that's the way it came.
