Dr. No released the Blameshifter, a signature buffered switcher for Troy Van Leeuwen of Queens of the Stone Age, with availability at the end of October 2026 exclusively at drno-effects.com¹. The maker announced the pedal alongside a limited TVL Decade Collector's Box Set¹.

The Blameshifter has one buffered high-impedance input, a main buffered output and three selectable buffered outputs, with return inputs for outputs 1 and 3². Outputs 1 and 3 work as send and return loops; output 2 is switched by a side toggle between A/B mode, with only output 2 active, and A+B mode, with output 2 and the main output active². Switching is a 3P3T rotary switch, break-before-make, and the pedal runs on 9V DC center negative power, not included². Dr. No describes the rotary control as a severed finger that points to the selected position¹. The maker lists the Blameshifter at 335 euros².

The TVL Decade Collector's Box Set contains the TvL Raven, the TvL Octavia and the Blameshifter, in a wooden box with a flocked inlay, a tin candle holder, a beeswax candle, a TvL seal stamp and sealing wax, picks, stickers and merchandise¹. It is an edition of 10, of which 8 are available, and is priced at 1,850 euros including shipping¹. Dr. No also offers a four-piece QOTSA TVL Blameshifter Pack at 2,550 euros, which includes drumsticks with severed fingers on the end for drummer Jon Theodore; the sticks alone are 135 euros².

Guitar Pedal X reported that there did not appear to be any demo videos of the Blameshifter at the time of its article².
