All the 18 watt variants on this site are based around the same power amplifier, and cathode biased, with maybe a couple exceptions if you look deep into mods somewhere.

The Lite 2b series is like the classic 18 watt amp with the 2nd channel removed...and a couple improvements (maybe).

yeah Joe that's right, 2 power valves in push/pull with the cathodes grounded through a capacitor & resistor,as opposed to "single ended" 1 power valve like the fender champ.
the lite2b is basically the normal channel of the classic 18 watt but it uses the tonestack from the tremelo channel.
