i abuse pedals all the time, i used to kick my pedals around if one wasn't working, my ex-bandmates used to say that i played football soccer on them.
i truly believe that to make an instrument have a personality soundwise, you have to break it in and fuck it up a little. but certainly not put a dumbell through it.
i hear you, i have a zoom 509 i use quite a lot and, while i haven't done anything more major than a kick or a drop or two to the floor, it's started to rattle around; the pedal is a bit old and i bought it used. still, it's one of my favorite and certainly my most used because it's so versatile and manipulable.
so i hear you man, just take it easy on the stuff you like; next time, take it out on something you don't like or one someone else's crap.
(i'm just kidding with the last part)
