Absolutely amazing work! I have it hooked up to the Ghostlab42 Life-Size Spirit Pack Lights and GBFans Wand Light Kit and the installation was so easy. It has all the settings you could ask for, and the video game mode is a dream come true. Expect about a 3 second delay in sound when switching between certain video game sounds, I didn't know this was normal at first. Get bustin!

First of all, this is a fantastic and easy to use kit!
It is very affordable, professionally manufactured and really shines if all three pieces are combined together. The sound effects are of high quality and the output is crystal clear. You can customise some things, like having an ambient background humming sound or not.
I use these electronics in my modified spirit pack and the new hasbro spengler's neutrona wand as wand housing.
Finally a dream has come true. If you are a GB fan and need really good and authentic electronics, buy this set now! You won't regret it!

I love it. this thing is capable of so much. My one and only complaint is that this item didn't come with a single piece of operating instructions or at least a link in the item description to a video tutorial.

Great kit, I absolutely love it !! It has tons of features and is very easy to use. I highly recommend it. The only downside is that it doesn't have the "Cross the streams" feature from the video game and movies.

An excellent soundboard! Provides both TVG and Movie sounds! Installed it in my Spirit pack shell with no problems. Definitely worth the money.

One board to rule them all!!
An absolute must have to bring your pack to life! It is literally plug and play. The only thing you have to mess with is running the power source to it but that's very simple. With having zero electronics experience this board makes it so simple and stress free. It includes a step by step pdf file of how to properly wire it up and detailed guide.
Its common to have to wait for this board to be made and shipped out (understandably as this is a custom and order on basis item) but I promise its absolutely worth the wait.

If you are getting the light kits, this piece of hardware is a great piece to tie them all together. If you get the other GB Fan boards, you can power all your boards via this master board as well.
Comes with a 1gb micro SD card installed with all the sounds.
Board features a volume knob and audio input jack as well.

Good Product. Works as described makes sound and light hookups simplified. Perfect size for even smaller packs like the Spirit Halloween.

Arrived in great shape. But will be some time before I can tested it. So can not say much more. But this review system says I must. So if I must, then I must. As Dark Helmet would say.

Got this for my first pack build, and works great right out of the box.
Nice to have sounds on an SD card to modify, and an external input jack for playing music or adding a Bluetooth receicer like I did. Also nice having the option to use your own switches without the gun/wand kit, as I had temporarily done that until that kit arrived.
The on board volume knob is also mounted on the back, and with separately purchased mounting spacers, made for a clean mount and access on through the mobo.

This thing is great, and very easy to set up. I am so glad I held out for this board and didn't buy one off of eBay. This board is truly plug and play.

I have owned nearly every electronics kit for proton packs and even made my own throughout the years. And you can not beat the pack blaster. Try to make it on your own (I have) it will take a month and cost about the same if not more and not be nearly as upgrade-able. I love it for its crisp sound, ease of use as it is plug and play with keyed connectors, durability with reverse voltage and static protection and most of all customization options upgrade-ability with vent kits, wand kits, separate volume knob option, pack lights kit it is made to be very plug and play with a whole ecosystem of upgrades and works seamlessly with them all, not to mention a slew of pack sound options built in with tvg, movie mode, interactive mode, audio in, humm and more and no one else really offers all that especially at this price point. If I could offer one criticism to help the electronics newbies out there it it would be a dc barrel jack to mate easily with the blue brick battery offered here. Also I wouldn't mind a 2016, or rgb, pack mode and maybe a few more songs with a way to select them. Other that that though if you are looking to put on a heck of a show, blow kids minds, constantly get asked if your pack is "real" and be loud enough to bust ghosts even in Cons, parties, and parades there is no other choice.

I love it!!! It’s everything you need for sound and light hook ups for your pack and wand!!! It also has a mp3. jack so you can have your own music playing through it. It’s a 5 Star for me for sure.

Amazing bit of kit well worth the money. Literally just plug in and go. I replaced the sounds with GB16 on the SD Card really easily.

GREAT out of the box, works amazingly well interfacing with GBFans power cell/wand light kits. Most of your troubleshooting can be taken care of if you read the documentation carefully*.
*My issue was figuring out "Standby" mode for the rooftop scene effects and it's obviously explained out right next to it in parenthesis.

Another "state-of-the-art" item and a MUST to any GB proton pack replica.
This module is professionally made and has every single sound you'll need to impress any one when showing your proton pack.
Very simple to install, just connect the speaker, battery and the two GBFans' light kits (each one connected with a ribbon cable) and it is done! This simple!
This is the BEST option to sounds to your proton pack. So, don't waist your time, effort and money reserching for other other "kits", because your won't find anything better than this!
If you want a really fast, simple and movie accurate option to add sounds to your proton pack, this IS your choice, for sure!
And install this with GBFans' proton pack and proton gun/wand kits and you will have a perfect lights/sounds proton pack.
Absolutely recommended! A++++++++++!

There's not much I can say that others have not about that others haven't said. This is a great sound board that integrates with all of the other kits available from the shop here. Simple to install (the cables to connect the different boards definitely make this much easier) and includes on-board volume control or the option to wire to an "external" control. Everything is clearly and easily laid out and when used in conjunction with the instructions, is easily installed with minimal confusion and frustration.

"The very best pack sound board out there!"
Ghostlab42 makes the highest quality boards period!
I've used this board in 2 going on 3 of my packs including a custom make one for my slime blower.
The amp is powerful enough to drive 2 of the speakers sold here on GBfans.
And the line in jack allows a direct MP3 player line in or, do what I did, and connect a Bluetooth dongle for wireless connectivity to your iPhone!
Awesome.

This sound kit is a must have for any ghosthead. I love that is has plenty of options including Movie Accurate and Video Game modes. The sounds are crisp and clear and the built in amp ensures plenty of power through your speakers. Even at half volume this thing packs a punch. Much like all the GBFans electronics parts I have bought, it was easy to put together and intergrate with the other kits. A must have for any pack builder who wants that buzz of throwing a proton stream

This is really one of the best soundboards you can get should you want to be a real accuracy nut. The board itself is done very well. In my initial tests out of the box, everything worked perfectly! The plug in connections for the pack lights and wand light kits sold here really add to the value of purchasing all the GBFans electronics kits. I would definately suggest using a 12v battery to supply your power as the 9v (minimum reccomended) may not drive your speakers properly and you may get fuzz. Buck up and get the 12v recharageble batteries and you will be in great shape!

I'm really happy with the sound board. It has all the sounds from the movies and the video game. Of course the biggest benefit of this board is that it integrates easily and beautifully with the GBFans wand kit and GBFans pack lights (ribbon cables and light boards sold separately). While the default 12k samples on the board may leave audio enthusiasts wanting more, they can be upgraded using the sound board programmer also sold separately in the shop. The built in amplifier is nice, and although 10 watts may be hard to hear on noisy convention floors, it does quite well in most other situations with the proper speaker set up. Having an option to wire a separate volume pot is also a fantastic option.

Slow board. The GBfans amplified soundboard is a pretty alright board. It’s solid works perfectly with the GBFans wand light and switch kit, cyclotron lights and with Spongeface’s relay for smoke. However, after having all of those for over a year now, I wouldn’t recommend this board. It’s good but it’s just too slow with sound even with a fast SD card. I’ve tried using the GBFans recommended 8ohms speaker. My own car speaker, speakers that have been suggested on the GBFans forums. They all have a slight delay when using any switches or triggers. I’ll flip a switch, lights turn on immediately…then a split second later, you’ll hear the sound. I cannot describe how unsatisfying that is. It’s like watching a film and the dialogue is just slightly off. I thought maybe it was just my board but looking at other videos of the board online I can see the same slight delay. Also, GBFans doesn’t sell a full pack set. You have to buy each segment if you want a full pack setup. I had purchased my wand light kit and cyclotron kit but had to way for this amplified soundboard. Granted it was when they were redoing the chip for it. I just think I would be great if they sold a full pack set. Like I said before, it’s an ok board but it could be better.

When I got my package looked like someone stepped on it. Hooked up sound board worked for 5 mins. The battery terminals seem less probably from damaged package.So now I have 76.00 paper weight and no returns or replacements. But easy hook up and sound good for 5 mins. Plus there are no directions you have to you tube it.
Response from GBFans.com: Any damage should be reported and we provide repairs and exchanges with a prompt notice of shipping damage. There is a several page manual attached in the product description marked "
Documentation".

Worked great when first test connected. Then I removed the potentiometer as the instructions said was possible and now it doesn't work.
Response from GBFans.com: The potentiometer can be removed and relocated. It must be reconnected to the provided screw terminals. If you leave the potentiometer off, it will always have a volume level of zero and will not work.
