This is my main Kemper performance / tones for 2026! Based on Friedman HBE.
I'm using this primarily for CHRISTOPHER SHAYNE stuff, but also for my own stuff. I would make it a bit brighter for my own stuff, but it's mostly just a bit of EQ'ing... Nothing that can’t be handled in post.
NOTE: I am using a paid IR for my distortion sounds. I've indicated which one below, but I have NOT included it with this download. You'll have to insert your own IR for those.
Everything else I got off of Rig Exchange and tweaked.
This is dialed for my LTD TE-200 w/ JB bridge pickup. Sounds very good on strats too! Majesty/JP guitars run VERY hot so you may need to adjust the distortion sense and clean sense a bit... But it should be grab and go basically.
Enjoy!
Rigs:
#1 - Acoustic
#2 - Octaver solo grindy sound
#3 - Friedman HBE less gain (fx: drive, chorus, MORPH for long delay)
#4 - Friedman HBE more gain (this is where I live) (fx: gate, drive, chorus, MORPH for long delay)
#5 - Friedman HBE Boosted vol by ~2.5
IR REMOVED ON # 3 4 5. You'll need to find one that works for you or get the Petrucci IR pack here. I use LqdRHYblendrm4x
