Torben,
Well, since this is the LD list (not FaceBook) I cannot send pictures.
But here is a link to one of the kind of amp stands I am talking about:

The adjustable supports that hold the amp at an angle can be taken off, and turned around 180˚.
When you do that, it would hold the amp level, rather than at an angle.
But since you want to hold a rack bag that's deeper than the shallow depth of a small combo amp, those back bars forming the vertical part of the "L" need to be sawn off.
This is fairly easy to do with any hacksaw . . . or even a dremmel tool.
What sort of rack bag you put on top of it is up to you.
I actually use a big 5-space rack bag and 16 inches deep like this one:

But if you don't need that much storage space, a 2- or 3-space, 16 inch deep bag would do just as well . . . much like this one:

Or, if a "bag" is not secure or travel worth for you there are plastic rack "cases" as well in similar sizes.
I use the big bag because all of the zippered pouches are useful for holding things.
I use my laptop to run MaxMSP and I use a bunch of Roland EV-5 pedals to control the parameters of my complicated performance patch.
Best,
Ted
