I'll start
Boss FZ-5 - utterly sucks. Not just literally. The so-called octavio setting makes your axe sound like crackling paper. WTF? How could they do that?

according to the internet, the worst pedal ever, is the dano sitar swami.
its pretty badass actually tho, as long as u aren't trying to make it sound like a sitar

I think pretty much any pedal is useful for SOMETHING. Even if it's broken you can use it as a door stop or put it in a sock and thump freaks with it.
For reals though, a lot of pedals suck for their intended purpose, but I think of you're creative with them they can be really interesting.

the worst pedal ever is probably some cheap-ass overdrive or something

"I know, we'll that awful cold chorus'y distortion sound from 80's metal and put it in a pedal! Brilliant!"
or maybe this:

"Hey, a lot of bassists seem to love that Sansamp thing, let's just make cheap knockoff, except make every single function suckier than the original!"

Honestly, there's no "worst pedal"... it all depends how you use them.

Those grey zoom multi-fx.
Wouldn't even use them for noise.

I kindof like them

haven't seen many pedals that I couldn't do something cool with
trying to think of the last one that I really hated
