Not necessarily. If your amps actually broke in, they'd follow the 3 rules of break-in:
1) Break-in always results in a change in sound (always for the better, never for the worse).
2) Break-in automatically stops (but it does so only when the sound is optimal to
your ears).
3) Break-in never goes too far (e.g., an amp will never go from too harsh to just right to too mellow). See #2.
As you can see, the very nature of break-in wouldn't allow your amps to reach a point where they produce "pathetic bleeps and chirps".
