    Not a real popular amp and not a "current production build", but my little PTP Beltone AP-22 is cathode biased.

    I believe all Goodsell amps are cathode biased. My Super 17 Mk3 is.

    Aren't pretty much all single ended/single output valve amps cathode biased?

    These amps are no longer in production. But, I thought that they deserved mention as some of them sounded better than my vintage Fenders.
