It says on each one if it says v1 it means be voice switch engaged in the 1st position
Then there hbe v1 and 2
And hbe c45 is the hbe channel with the ce45 switch engaged
The real amp has 2 gain channels be and hbe it has some voicing switch and a bright switch and a saturation switch on the back
The amp models are of the 2 gain channels with different switch’s turned on

Sorry I'm talking specifically about the 2018 models. I've also just realised I put this in the Axe FX II forum and not the AX8...

Basically I'm wondering if the Friedman 2018 and the Friedman C45 2018 are the BE or HBE channel?

I played with this model for a while, and also wasn't sure. The overall distortion level kinda felt, to me, in between the previous BE and HBE (I was using the V1 models). Either way, decided it didn't matter and just twisted the pre gain knob until it sounded right.

I really like the V2 HBE and the 2018 the most. I'm sure the 2018 is based after the HBE.
