I have a 5 watt tube amp with a 25 watt Jensen speaker. The thing is LOUD even though it's 5 watts. I tried a silverface champ the other day and my amp was probably twice as loud.
Do I risk blowing out my speaker if I use a distortion pedal with the volume all the way up? When I have my amp on 10, then kick on my pedal with that volume all the way up, the pedal probably doubles the volume. This produces what I consider an insane amount of noise for a small amp. Is my speaker totally fine?
Next question is if I have my amp on 10 and the pedal volume set low, are the tubes still being pushed hard like they are when the pedal isn't engaged?
Thanks
