Worst pedal you've owned?

Since we already have 2 pages of comments on a 2014 necro hread, here's my input.

The worst pedal I've had was the TC Electronic Rusty Fuzz which I just couldn't get to sound good. It's a cheap pedal I know, but just awful. The next worst was the TS808 Tube Screamer, a hateful thing which always seemed to have too much again even at the lowest setting and just didn't sound good, even with single coils into a Deluxe Reverb which is supposed to be a match made in heaven.

Original Boss Heavy Metal. Bought when I was a kid and hung onto it for far too long. As a kid learning about this stuff before the internet it could be quite difficult to find out about how to get a decent sound. After I bought the Boss Very Metal I just assumed it wasn't possible to get a decent rock sound outside of an expensive studio.

Mobius was pretty bad for the price tag.
