Title says it all.

For me its the capo. I never use it and I've only used it once for a cover song, other than that I've never used it.

Boss OD20 or even worse the GP20

come to that the compression sustainer pedal was crap as well.

Max Flanger digital delay neither worked !

All real turds!

I don't remember using my capo more than a couple of times since I bought it (7 years ago I think) .
I don't use my slider oftenly too , although I love it , but I don't know why I was never really determined when I practice those slider licks.

I love my capo and I play alittle metal. Probably the only person that does that, but I like using different open chords in trasher metal licks beside E or lower. Capo the first fret and jam around in Bb minor (really strange key).

My useless piece of gear would have to be my wireless system, it's a cheapo so I never use it. It's been sitting in it's case for about 4-5 years now.

probibly a flanger (unless you are Billy Corgan who uses it everyother song somehow) or a talk box, but ive never used one of those
Have you noticed that the best songs always seem be the most simple take, the classic song, "batman"... I mean its just Batman and Na...

For me it's the slide. Can't play slide, can't even find my slide right now. Funny thing is though I own 4 of them. Is there a support group for gear hogs?
So. If you throw a cat out of a car window, is it considered "kitty litter"?

I love gear, always buying stuff. It's fun. I got 2 slides but rarely use them.
