In this episode of Bench Tested, Charlie Harsh sits down with Nomake Wan to talk about how a lifelong Ghostbusters fan went from being disappointed by toy sounds to helping shape open-source modding for packs and wands.
They get into his early connection to the gear through Extreme Ghostbusters, how the Hasbro wand pulled him into modding, and how curiosity around one missing sound effect turned into real contributions to Ghostbusters electronics. The conversation also covers beginner-friendly advice on tools, soldering, diagnostics, JST connectors, coding, AI-assisted development, and what makes a pack or wand feel more authentic.
This episode is less about hype and more about demystifying the technical side of the hobby, and showing builders that getting started is more approachable than they think.
