Anybody own one of these or tried one? I'm very intrigued but there's not much on the internet about these, and no bass clips. Thanks in advance!

(Disclaimer: Mine is up for sale on the classifieds)
As you said, there's not much info about it, and not really advertised as a funk machine.
Plays well on bass. Retains a ton of bottom end and can certainly blow up your speakers if you hang out too much on the left side of the range knob. You can adjust the sensiblity and the pedal will react well to your dynamics. That being said, its bass friendly, but not made 'for bass'. Can get as quacky or muddy as you like and the tones are rich, but its hard to dial them in on the go (eg: during band practice) Most of the time I found myself lost in the mix when twiddling in between sweet spots.
What disappointed me was the Sample and Hold mode. Being a previous EQD owner, I was expecting some sort of Arpanoid-ish sounds, but the arpeggios were weak and never cut through the mix. If i wanted to make them sound better, I'd loose the settings of the previous upward sweep (left) mode I was in. This didn't happen with the Arpanoid.
Hope that helps

I had one for a bit and liked it. The Sample and Hold inspired me to get a Prometheus DLX(which is still in transit over a month later 
) but you do have to lose your sweep filter settings to find a good S&H setting. It's a good filter, not as wet sounding as a Fwonkbeta but good.

Any other cool s&h pedals like this?
Still loving fwonk so dunno if this is worth it just for down sweep and s&h. Would be cool to have a mod pedal with s&h source, like a Night Wire Deluxe.

Alexander F.13, and Subdecay Prometheus DLX. The Subdecay Proteus does S&H too but not too well IMO.
Those were very cool. The F.13 was kind of what I was thinking, but I wonder if the s&h sound doesn't really cut through when it's not a hi-q filter.
The spatial delivery reminds me of a couple presets I had on my zoom 505 back in the day.
Has anybody compared the Spatial Delivery to some of the old standbys like the Qtron, Af9, FX25 etc? I haven't actually seen a Fwonk Beta in person so I don't have that frame of reference.
I got one about a month ago. It’s a cool filter but getting the settings dialed in is tricky, and as Bruno said, hard to do on the fly. You gotta spend some time with it and figure it out.
I actually dig the S&H function when I use it.
I think the difference between V1 and V2 is the soft relay switching, at least that’s the main difference on most of the EQD pedals.
