I picked up a used Fender Acoustasonic 30, and it's a great little amp. Will the speakers be harmed if I play an electric guitar through a multi-effect pedal (including overdrive/distortion at reasonable levels) into it?

How about a loop pedal that puts out a drum track?

How delicate are these little amps?

I'm guessing the answer is "Yes, duh! Acoustasonic... derp." but I thought I'd check to see if anyone has tried it and lived to tell the tale.

My experience is that speakers are usually fried when the amp is clipping. Or you are applying way too much wattage than they were designed for, onto them.

DC will also do a speaker in.
