Peter / anybody: How do I eliminate the compression on CH3 on the VH4?

I definitely get a lot of compression in ch3, but I like it. Different strokes for different folks, I guess.

THANK YOU!

The KT88s helped at cleaning a lot of this issue. They are punchier, ballsier really fat sounding (and expensive). I use KT88 ever since I had my VHTs after which I got the VH4 and never went back.

As I mentioned I did try some NOS 12ax7 tubes in this and while some sounded great and others awesome, the issue was there.

Yes, this issue kinda accumulated little by little to the point where I wanna get it looked after.

OK people!! ISSUE SOLVED!!!

I put a 12AT7 in V3 and now it's kicking some serious a$$. The compression is pretty much gone, and it's all balls out now!!! I need to up the gain control quite a bit there's plenty on tap!! Oh man! and I tried everything BUT this!!

Thanks to getsetforsound who posted the right tube chart for the VH4 and it got me thinking!

The tube chart Rich sent me had V2 and V3 reversed (typo?).

Anyhow. No mods required! THANKS FOR ALL SUGGESTIONS! I'm a happy camper now! YAY!
