Thank you so much for a wonderful informative review. 😊👍💯 Thank you for explaining what each buttons actually are and what their functions do. Also thank you so much letting us know about the hidden special features. I have watched a lot of other videos but they never really give a full explanation of what each buttons do. Awesome video and thank you 😊👍💯
LOL…Thank you. I appreciate you enjoying it. The fake “dream sequence” was the last shot of the video actually. Filmed it around 1:00 in the morning. Thought for sure I was gonna wake up the family 😂
Great video, really enjoyed the way you went through everything. I can not wait for mine to arrive, I live in the UK and it's had a minor delay here before we get ours but apparently it will arrive early in the new year.
A few other hidden modes/features: In taser mode if you hold down on one of the buttons it eventually does a warning sound and the screen starts blinking before it powers off. Another button press brings it back into action. For the trap, if you are in rumble mode and hit the button to go into service mode then the internal lights activate. If you turn off the main switch in service mode the doors stay open (in case you want to display them open I suppose). If you hold down the pedal (in ghost mode) there is a hidden sound sequence. Not much of a feature but if you are in “Spooky mode” there is a sound for pressing the pedal down and another when you release it. Last one I can think of is when the switch is on slimmer with the GB2 rods in he will sometimes sing the Ghostbusters theme.
@@Ghost1MoreModYeah that’s fine, but to be fair I did find several of these on Facebook and Reddit. Another thing I did discover is once you’ve trapped a ghost and you hit the pedal again the ghost gets “released” and the doors close again on their own to make the trap ready to start all over again.
Great video! Really appreciate the in depth dive into the different buttons/knobs. This would be very handy when our team begins getting theirs. Cheers!
Amazing video, thanks for this. And I was just like you waiting for FedEx to come. Made me waste the entire day because he was suppose to come at 1pm but didn't until 5pm
Thanks for this video, it helped me understand all the features better. All modders are elitists first, thats why we mod to take the nitpicks and make them better, haha. My three nitpicks: 1. The handle feels plastic and not heavy duty enough for the weight of the trap. 2. The trapping sound FX doesn't sound like the one used in the movie. At least they got the beeping close enough. 3. The LEDs inside the trap are white only. Wish we could have had options of pink, purple and green.
Very informative video. Will definitely help once mine finally arrives. It’s a pain because my FedEx app keeps telling me it’s out for delivery, but it’s happened 2 days in a row already. Really hoping it’s just a case of the box being ready to me loaded onto a specific van, but hasn’t yet.
I learned a lot on how to actually use the trap functionality, however you didn’t mention how the trap and pke interact via infrared. Otherwise, this covered everything great
@39:48 The "push and hold two buttons" is a reference to Ghostbusters Year 1 by IDW Comics. In that comic, Egon mentions to Winston to never press both of the buttons on the PKE meter at the same time. The meaning of Hasbro's blink sequence on the other hand I can't figure out. It's identical every time, and is 20 blinks long. But unlike the morse on the trap it's not obvious to me what each of the lit segments is supposed to represent.
@oppenheimer11 Actually, that reference is when you hold down the "manual up" button. Not when you press two buttons at the same time as I was referring to.
@@Ghost1MoreMod Update! Thanks to a hint from FB, I've figured out the blink code. The yellow LED is ignored (it is always on), but the remaining four LEDs act as bits where off is 0 and on is 1. If you then write down all the bits and decode them as ASCII, you get "Gozerlives".
@@Ghost1MoreMod Update! I figured out the blink code thanks to a hint of someone suggesting it was binary. Sure enough if you ignore the first LED (since it is always on) and treat the remaining 4 LEDs as bits (off=0, on=1), you get a binary code that translates to the ASCII for "Gozerlives".
I got mine Monday but had to wait until yesterday (Tuesday) to play around with it because, in my excitement to get it home.....I forgot to buy batteries 🤦♂️
For some reason my PKE doesn’t require me to manually put the taser switch down after using it, it automatically returns into the down position after activating it.
What about the IR sensor on the trap? I need to know what it’s for lol on the front of the paper that it comes with says “IR signals may interfere coms between controller and PKE.” So does this mean there’s a feature between the trap and PKE?
Yup! Im shooting an update video now! Put PKE into emf mode (bottom switch to center l) Then while the trap is idling bring the meter closer to the trap while hitting bottom right button (manual up) When the arms are fully up, it’ll force the trap to make a ghost sound. After the ghost sound, pull meter away, release manual up button, wait for arms to slightly lower on their own again, then repeat! 😁
I absolutely did! And I realized this after the fact :/ However, I’m in the middle of a 4-way comparison video, and I do call that out that I forgot to showcase that in this video. Good eye! 👍🏼
A few things that are nitpicks: - The light designer forgot to light the lower LEDs on the PKE like in the movie -The trap bargraph animation goes right to left, should have been left to right (I know you can change it but you will never be able to get it to go left to right during a trapping) -The trap rumble function is not mapped to the random ghost sounds. It's always off. The trap never uses the rumble motor when a ghost is heard. -It's weird, why add all the different bargraph animations that are never used in the movies but get the actual movie animations wrong? The animation differences are just a gimmick that are non canon
Honestly, I'm pretty disappointed in the PKE meter. It's definitely a chonky boi, and I much prefer the size, feel, and ease of use of my matty pke over the haslab. I'm also not a fan of the trigger guard and switch, both the feel and the placement. The switch feels very flimsy, and there's already reports of it breaking. Meanwhile the trigger guard doesn't feel secure enough, and seems more decorative than functional. It's also placed in such a way that I find it interferes with a comfortable grip on the unit. My PKE wings were already deployed into taser mode when I opened the box for some reason. The second I slipped off that paper cuff it was packed in the wings popped right up into taser mode. The instructions were really unclear and alarming concerning correctly closing from taser mode too. They make no mention of the PKE requiring batteries to get out of taser mode, and maybe it's not supposed to, but on mine I couldn't get the wings into regular PKE mode until I installed the batteries and turned it on. And now I'm too scared to try taser mode again for fear of breaking the thing. Not that I care about taser mode in the first place, so it's no big loss, but I don't like how flimsy it's inclusion makes the product feel. The instructions for the whole set are truly terrible. This set really requires clear instructions, and what we get is a jumbled mess with confusing graphics and absurdly tiny print. The trap is very nice, save for how weak the handle feels. I definitely miss the trap animations of the matty trap though, with the ghost trying to get out and the shake features. The sequences on the haslab trap are fine, and the trap itself looks very nice, but the matty animation sequence was much more immersive. I'm not a fan of having to swap out the side bars to access the animation/sound profiles for the different movies. I'm perfectly happy with the inclusion of swappable parts to allow people to be screen accurate to the movie of their choice, but I don't think that needed to extend to the sounds. They should all be available regardless of what configuration the trap is. Some of the extras are nice, or interesting. I was disappointed in the blueprint poster though. I' have preferred actual blueprint styled art instead of standard product line art on a blueprint background. The set is okay, but for the price, I don't really think it was a home run. Too many issues for the kind of money they asked for.
I agree with a lot of the sizing statements. I’ll be doing a 4-way (yes 4) comparison on the PKE meter And Trap soon. And 100% on the instructions. Extremely unhelpful. Hopefully people can use this in place of that 👍🏼
Love it!! I got mine yesterday and for a quick learning, your video was a perfect choice!!! 😊
First off, CONGRATS! Secondly, thank you! Glad you found it helpful 👍🏼
Thank you so much for a wonderful informative review. 😊👍💯 Thank you for explaining what each buttons actually are and what their functions do. Also thank you so much letting us know about the hidden special features.
I have watched a lot of other videos but they never really give a full explanation of what each buttons do.
Awesome video and thank you 😊👍💯
Thanks man, I appreciate the kind words. Glad you found it informative and helpful. 🙏🏻
I loved the Christmas vacation reaction. That’s how I felt.
There wasn’t any other feeling than this 😂
@ I got mine today
Oh man, so it’s Christmas in your house right now!
Still waiting on mine but SO glad I watched! Best run through video out there.. Thank you dude!
Wow, this means a lot! Thanks for watching and hang in there. It’ll be so worth the wait 👍🏼
Damn you had me for a second with that unboxing at the start. Was certain you were gonna break it 😂
LOL…Thank you. I appreciate you enjoying it. The fake “dream sequence” was the last shot of the video actually. Filmed it around 1:00 in the morning. Thought for sure I was gonna wake up the family 😂
Great video, really enjoyed the way you went through everything. I can not wait for mine to arrive, I live in the UK and it's had a minor delay here before we get ours but apparently it will arrive early in the new year.

I think the press and hold one button on the PKE is from Frozen Empire where it shorts out when Ray is examining the orb.
Bingo! 👍🏼
A few other hidden modes/features: In taser mode if you hold down on one of the buttons it eventually does a warning sound and the screen starts blinking before it powers off. Another button press brings it back into action. For the trap, if you are in rumble mode and hit the button to go into service mode then the internal lights activate. If you turn off the main switch in service mode the doors stay open (in case you want to display them open I suppose). If you hold down the pedal (in ghost mode) there is a hidden sound sequence. Not much of a feature but if you are in “Spooky mode” there is a sound for pressing the pedal down and another when you release it. Last one I can think of is when the switch is on slimmer with the GB2 rods in he will sometimes sing the Ghostbusters theme.
Dude! GREAT call outs! I’ll mention this in a future video and give you credit! 👍🏼

AWESOME! Fantastic, happy to help 🙏🏻
You forgot the 'RC mode', that the PKE meter can wakes-up the ghosts when it detect one, the ghost trap makes sounds
I definitely did, and realized this while uploading. I call myself out in my next upcoming video though and mention it. Good eye though! 👍🏼
Fantastic production value dude!
🙏🏻
i get it, i’m hyped too, but that thumbnail face is diabolical 😭
😆 Sorry I’ll pull back the obligatory shock face thumbnail. But appreciate you for tuning in 🙏🏻
Great video! First thing I did was take the Vhook off. Looks SO much better on display
Thank you! Yeah that V-hook is a little obtrusive…
Amazing video, thanks for this. And I was just like you waiting for FedEx to come. Made me waste the entire day because he was suppose to come at 1pm but didn't until 5pm
😂😂 Only us people understand the waiting struggle
lol great video man

You’re welcome! Cool if I quote your comment in a future video? And yeah, excellent call outs. Not exactly perfect, but very good all around 👍🏼

Thanks! Happy to help. I get the wait agony, but hang in there, it’s so worth it.
my delivery was supposed to be yesterday, so I'm set up and ready for that "out for delivery" truck to roll up today!
🤞🏻for ya!
Got mine on december 4th..and I'm like kids that got ticket to visit Willy Wonka Chocolate Factories that day❤
Haha COMPLETELY get it. My Ghostbusters group and I were acting like kids on Christmas Eve waiting for FedEx trucks to arrive 😂
I learned a lot on how to actually use the trap functionality, however you didn’t mention how the trap and pke interact via infrared. Otherwise, this covered everything great
Thank you! Yeah I realized I omitted this, but I am revisiting that along with some other new found features in an upcoming video. Good eye! 👍🏼
The pedal stores on top of the trap. Above the doors
I’ve seen this! It’s definitely a little bit of a tight fit, but it works! 👍🏼

Noooo… that’s the worst. Well have fun enjoying it now 👍🏼
I almost felt like hugging my FedEx driver when he gave me nine.
Your FedEx driver gave you 9 of these!??? 😏 lol
😂 I wouldn’t judge
@Ghost1MoreMod stupid autocorrect: mine
Actually, if he did give me nine, it wouldn't just be a thought.
😂
The press two buttons at once I believe is a Easter egg when egons never to press the buttons down at the same time.
I wish the manual controls for the PKE were more gradual. Mine goes from barely sticking out to almost maxed in one press.
Yeah, you have to give it the quickest taps to move it in small increments..
For some reason my PKE doesn’t require me to manually put the taser switch down after using it, it automatically returns into the down position after activating it.
So how do you know that your router isn't possessed?
Disconnected it. Took it over to the firehouse. Did a full scan analysis on it. The guys deemed it was okay 😉
So the switches next to the knobs on the front don’t do anything?
No actually function. Just for looks. Each one does rotate 2 clicks through.
What about the IR sensor on the trap? I need to know what it’s for lol on the front of the paper that it comes with says “IR signals may interfere coms between controller and PKE.” So does this mean there’s a feature between the trap and PKE?

After the ghost sound, pull meter away, release manual up button, wait for arms to slightly lower on their own again, then repeat! 😁
@ 🤯 thank you so much! It was driving me crazy lol but thats such a wild extra feature to add! Now im gonna try it out for myself lol
😎🤜🏼🤛🏼
My Fedex guy (younger guy) had the biggest grin on is face when he handed me my 2 lol
Haha I bet 😁
How can I buy this?
Would’ve had to back it last year, BUT they’re ALL over eBay as we speak 👍🏼
I do like that the Haslab PKE meter has more authentic sounds, my Matty PKE meter is great but the beeping that they chose is really irritating.
I hear ya. I’m working on a 4-way comparison video this week. And I’ll be covering just that! 👍🏼
noice!!!!!!!
Someone has already made a mod to make it smoke, it perfectly fits into the trap
It costs $180 😳
Yuuuupers! And I’m going LIVE with him 9pm EST Tonight 12/18
Forgot to feature the IR, didn't ya?
I absolutely did! And I realized this after the fact :/ However, I’m in the middle of a 4-way comparison video, and I do call that out that I forgot to showcase that in this video. Good eye! 👍🏼
Thank you for calling out the black nitrile glove shtick that channels do!!!
🤣👍🏼

I hear ya... Rumor is their might be a “fix” for the bargraph… we’ll see what that means.
I was on containment units podcast last night, check out around the 31 minute mark. ruclips.net/user/livesJIwyDDQVnM?si=j7zCCJu9_lswVICa&t=1903
I was on Containment Unit’s podcast last night. Check out around 31:50 minute mark 😉
Also the sound is backwards right? If you listen to the bar graph sound before the beeps. It goes up instead of down. Can this be changed ?

@@Ghost1MoreMod your video is very helpful. The instructions are the reason I hopped on RUclips to find a deep dive video :p
I may want to quote this comment! Would that be okay with you!?
@@Ghost1MoreMod Sure thing, be my guest
Thanks! I’ll make it a little pop up on a future video 👍🏼
Did RUclips make you do this thumbnail face? You should sue them.
Yup. It’s a requirement 😂
