Can I blow a guitar amplifier by giving it too strong an input signal while the volume is on 11?
I have a 1966 Fender Princeton Reverb and a 1965 Fender Twin ReIssue. I also have pedals like the Keeley Katana clean boost and Keeley Blues Driver which give large amounts of volume boost. If I have these amps up on 8 or 10, and then give it a super boosted guitar signal, what is going to happen to my amp/speaker ?
Oh...there's all kinds of things that could go wrong. Too much low end and a quick transient pulse through the amp would likely take the speaker out due to over excursion. If the rectifier or power tubes have any defects, then one of them could arc over, which would take out some resistors.
Or nothing, other than a very very noisy signal.
With a lot of signal going into the amp, you're going to saturate the first input gain stage and drive it into compression. At some point, you're not going to get any more volume out of the system, just noise and distortion.
Like the other poster said, start out low and increase the volume slowly. If the speaker sounds like it's grunting or rubbing against something, back off.
