I use to own a danelectro cool cat cc-1 chorus pedal and it was one of the best chorus pedals I've ever used. unfortunately it malfunctioned within 4 years. that totally sucks because I like that pedal very much. if I were to purchase another cool cat pedal, I would most likely to purchase the transparent overdrive. I heard it sounds awesome on bass.
 
I have to post it right?

Not an effect, but I have an Octave Kitten monophonic synth from the '70s. Might be an effect in a way, though; I think there's a way to plug an instrument into it. One of these days I'll find a manual for it.

Not right on point, but in the spirit of the thread (since he certainly uses plenty of effects) I'll share this video by Adrian Belew that this thread reminded me of.

Hate to do this, but I gotta' ask - what is it?

I tried to search for 'Fury Cat Pedal', but didn't come up with much.

Is it by any chance still in production and available to buy, or is it a wild goose chase.

it's custom made pedal. i only made one with the cat graphic and it was for the PCDH19 auction.

and i made a standard one for myself:
