#66.1: Where Does Gear Come From? The People Behind the Eventide H9000 with Greg Kellum, Jackson Firlik, Russell Wedelich
In 2018 Eventide’s flagship multi-effects processor, the H9000, received a TEC Award in the category of Signal Processing Hardware. Being such a powerful and innovative tool, we wanted to find out more about the work that went into its development, and get to know the people behind it. The staff at Eventide were kind enough to sit down with Stewart and John to talk about the H9000, Eventide, and their own backgrounds in music and technology. This is a three-part series, with individual and group interviews with the team that designed and developed the H9000. In part one, the guys talk to Greg Kellum, Jackson Firlik, and Russell Wedelich.
