Can I blow a guitar amp by giving it too strong an input signal, while the volume is at 11?

I have a 1966 Fender Princeton Reverb and a 1965 Fender Twin reissue. I also have pedals like Keeley Katana clean power and Keeley Blues Driver, which allows large amounts of volume boost. If I have these amplifiers up to 8 or 10, and then give it a super boosted guitar signal what will happen to my amp / speaker?

Oh … there are all sorts of things could go wrong. Too much low end and a fast transient pulse through the amp would be likely that the speaker out due to over excursion. If the rectifier or power tube has no errors As one of them could arc over who would take a few resistors. Or something other than a very very noisy signal. With a mass signal entering the amplifier, you get to to saturate the first input gain stage and run it to compress. At some point, you will have no more volume out of the system, just noise and distortion. Like the other poster said, start low and increase the volume slowly. If the speaker sounds as grunting or rubbing against something, back off. Greetings from Austin, Tx Ken
