Could happen - it would just depend on the individual case.

I'm kind of rusty on the maths side of music right now, I must get back
to speed.... :-) I wasn't meaning that amplification would change the
pitch, but rather that if there was a pitch discrepancy, its presence
would be highlighted by amplification. Does that make any more sense,
or do I need to go back to school? :-P
