Does it increase the range if i use a class 1 and a class 3 bluetooth
device? or would it be the same as using a class 3 and a class 3?

Class 2 = -30 dBm (1 mW) which equals with a range of about 10 meters
Class 1 = -20 dBm (10 mW) which equals with a range of about 30 to 100
meters

Class 3 does not exist.

If mixing class 1 and 2 you will get the lowerst distance: 10 meters.

(one site is shouting, the other is whispering ....)

Now that's funny. My copy of the Bluetooth spec[1] talks about class 1
devices with 100 mW (20 dBm), class 2 devices with 2.5 mW (4 dBm) and
class 3 devices with 1 mW (0 dBm) (maximum output power each).
