Jack, not sure what you are calling a class 2 amp? Could that be a class D? Any specific model in mind. There were a few posts about those in a bass mini amp.

There are several posts about specific mini bass amps on the forum. TC Electronic BAM, Elf, Quilter Tone Block (201, 202) and more. Try the forum search engine.

Larry. I use the BAM200 and like it as one of my backup amps. Light, powerful and reasonable.

I find that most of these affordable compact class-d bass heads, while pretty impressive on bass, aren't really tweaked for the sweet treble that's so critical for pedal steel. These critical highs were not the priority of these budget bass amp designs. They're not bad, but they will leave most of us wanting a more lush midrange and a much sweeter treble.

I have one rig consisting of Revelation and Crown Class D stereo power amp.
Another, Quilter 201 with an added MXR M81 preamp pedal and get good results. I use this one for band practice because it's in a small rack case and light weight along with a 12 inch Eminence neo spkr.
Another, most recent, I upgraded (mod'ed) my 1974 Session 400 with Sarno parts recommendation and replaced all of the Molex pins and soldered them to the wires. It's basically a "new" first year Session 400. Killer tone and dead quiet.
