I have had this head - 2010 - for a few months now. You hear people left and right calling the VH4 compressed but to me it's anything but.
I mean, yeah, channel 3 does sound super awesome with the gain around 2 o' clock, and it does get fairly compressed if you want it to, but it also sounds just as great, albeit different, with the gain around noon or further backed, and much less compressed.
And channel 2 especially is one of the least compressed channels I've ever played, you can litterally go from clean to full on distortion just with picking dynamic, no need to even touch the volume on the guitar. How is that compressed? I have single channel ptp boutique heads, I have fender based amps, I've played plenty of vintage stuff and they don't do that.
Or maybe I don't understand what compression is.
