My name is Ian Gendel. I have been a huge Ghostbusters fan since I was a little kid. It’s always been a dream of mine to own a full outfit, pack, trap, etc. I am currently part of the GBNJ group.


This is my custom modified Hasbro Haslab Proton Pack. It’s been a labor of love to build and took me 14 months to complete. This site will explain how I built this pack and what parts I used to get it to look/act the way it does. There are too many people to thank. The list will name all of the people that helped make this project a reality

I want to thank some people that I have met along the way for this build. There are many more but these are the biggest influences. We have become life long friends.

1) My dad - He's the reason I am what I am. He introduced me to Audio and Electronics at a super early age. He always let me follow my passions and dreams. He helped me design and test so much of this electronics in the pack and uniform. He troubleshot with me, he used tools I don't have to do pieces of this build, and he helped me get replacements after we broke stuff. I drove down to my parents house so many times for his help on this I can't even count. You will always be the most amazing person ever

2) Noah Voiding from Playday_TNG - You have become the best friend and partner I could have ever had in this. From talking me through my electronic mistakes, fixing my wand after I broke it again, selling me a custom modded Spirit PKE Meter, building amazing mods, becoming a business partner, and just the amazing conversations we have had over the year. I thank you

3) Andrew from C&A Prop Design - A fantastic friend that I found out lives very close to me. We met up a bunch of times and showed off our equipment and just talked. It was a fantastic time. He makes an incredible ribbon cable with a cable clamp that keeps the Hasbro functionality as well as a perfect Ion Arm replacement.

4) Dustin, Michael, Jonathan, and Nomake from GPstar - All of you have built the most amazing upgrade electronics kit out there. My pack wouldn't have been what it is without you all creating such a wonderful and easy to install/upgrade electronics kit. You have all also been there when I needed help. Immediate responses, bug fixes, questions answered, etc

5) Chris from Dragon Workshop - He made some really cool parts I got a chance to put on my pack. Some of which he only made 1 run of and never made again. All my connectors, resistors, and clippards are his replacements

6) Redman Studio Workshop - The best V-Hook replacement and Metal Motherboards in the business!!

7) MobySignCompany - Fantastic Sticker Packs!!!

8) My best friend Anthony - He has always been super supportive while I was doing this build. He also came down and helped me install the GPstar Kit and has joined me with his wife at Ghostbusters Day

9) My Ghostbuster buddy Manny - Finding a hardcore Ghostbuster buddy has been amazing. He's building an Ecto car using a Dodge Magnum all by himself. It's been incredible. We have planned and done so many events and things together
