Brian Carstens of @CarstensAmplification has done it again! This time he's back with the EMPIRE, a high-gain, modern amplifier with the signature Carstens sound. In this video, I go over some of the features of the amp, do an extended play-through with knob turning, and then give you my thoughts and opinions on the EMPIRE and how it compares to the Grace.
