In this way, can I sit on my amp?
Its perfectly okay to sit on your amp, as long as your not hitting your knobs or damaging your lead coming out of it, but otherwise its fine!

Where do I face my amp?
When you’re critically listening to decide mic type, placement, etc., start by putting your face directly in front of the speaker so you’re hearing it the same way the mic will.
