Jaroslav Holub
I run Develop Device from Pilsen, Czech Republic. I make presets, drum MIDI, impulse responses and plugins, and every one of them goes through my own sessions before it goes on sale.
Built in a Working Studio
Develop Device started in 2012 as a recording and mixing studio. In December 2017 the drum presets from those sessions went on sale, and the catalog grew from there: guitar tones for most modelers, cabinet IRs, drum MIDI, templates and plugins.
My background is rock and metal, and most of the catalog still is. In 2025 I released my first own plugins, and in 2026 the first synth presets for Serum and Vital.
