Yes, I have. I emailed Godlyke and got a response pretty quickly.
From what I understand, here's the issue holding up the Godlyke orders. They had two shipments, one with Squeezers having Richard Cartwright's signature and one without. The latter shipment arrived, but the signed ones seem to be held up, possibly in customs. I said I didn't need one that was signed and mine was shipped the next day. Should be here early next week.
Aside from clips I think many of us would like to know how workable the interface is. Looks like it's great for recording but could be formidably complex for live use.
The interface is easy to manage with some practice, but definitely not something you'd want to me adjusting mid-show. Unless you had some sort of break between sets.
Hmm I think my OS had a catastrophic software failure last night. I decided to set the power to very low to see how useable it is in that setting if I was forced to do so at some point... well I changed the setting and bam, the whole thing freezes (which has happened to me before) so I reset the power and its still inoperable. Everytime I power it up it either goes to "reading card" (which is what happens when you run out of battery) or just freezes on the first effect. 
Hopefully I can get the OSF file from Richard tomorrow and it should be alright.

The OS gives the ability to hide/show parameters for each preset so you can just set out the main parameters you would feel you would need to tweak live for that effect. Saves scrolling through all 47 so you just need to work out which parameters you feel you may need to tweak on the fly for an effect. And a tweak is achieved by twisting the parameter knob. Also, you can create banks and it has 50 presets... I am new to a pedal of this complexity but after 3 days it's not so formidable to me now.
To those who have thier Octavius Squeezer, are the soundclips from the chunk website actual presets on the OS, specifically "Destroy them my robots!" and "Harry Hightpants"?
To expand on that question, how would you say the clips compared to the actual sound of the presets running through your rig?
I understand the clips on Chunk's website were from a DI, and I know that my FX sound pretty different when running through my amp and cab. Is there much difference?
cheers
They are understandably different. Just like it will sound different on someone else's amp, in some other room, with a different bass etc etc.
Not sure what your concern is, but to get the most out of ANY pedal requires some fine tuning or your rig.

I'll do an mp3/vid then as there's some interest in it. I'm hoping it will arrive by the end of the week.
No concern, I was just wondering what your particular experience had been, and besides, I have to fill up time til my OS arrives
Argh... mine's sitting somewhere at the other end of the country awaiting customs clearance. I can't find the number for the depot on the Australian shipping site. So close, yet so far!
The tracker said that it's touched down in England and is currently being transported to my houseanyone in Europe already received it?
Can't wait.SAMPLES IN THE WIKI!
Hard to know what to play with such kooky sounds, but here's my efforts from last night.
These are factory patches in spirit - slightly modified to suit my bass and playing style. Hopefully more to come.

Do I? Yes. It's very, very flexible and customisable, without being enormous and having forty three knobs and eighteen switches. Besides, there's more to this box than just octave-fuzz-filter, let me assure you!
