A Closer Look Into The Dr. No Effects TvL Decade Collector’s Edition
A Closer Look Into The Dr. No Effects TvL Decade Collector’s Edition
10 Years of Troy Van Leeuwen and Dr. No Effects.
TvL Decade Collectors Box by Dr. No Effects
On the threshold of his 25th anniversary, Dr. No does what only Dr. No can do: he breaks the frame.
In collaboration with Troy Van Leeuwen — guitarist, sonic architect, and fellow seeker of the rare — Dr. No Effects presents the TvL Decade Collector’s Edition. A decade of brotherhood, distilled into the most elaborate artistic guitar effects release ever conceived.
This is not a pedalboard. This is not a box set. This is Dr. No’s Imaginarium.
For four months, Dr. No has built entirely by hand, in his lab, what was originally meant to exist only twice: one for Troy, one for himself. But while building, the legend grew. Eight more were forged for collectors. Ten in total will ever exist. Two will never be sold.
Inside The Decade:
The box itself is an artifact. Constructed from solid wood, resting on four feet hand-cast in solid tin — a sculpted archive of the Raven skull and the very first unused fragments of the TvL series. Inside, a custom two-color flocked inlay holds the trilogy like jewels.

I. The Complete Handmade TvL Trilogy —
The Raven: The dark, atmospheric Booster / Filter that became Troy’s secret weapon.
The Octavia: The Heart of Darkness Octavia, Troy’s un-fuck-with-able guitar’s voice.
The Blameshifter: The ghost from the drawer. Born a decade ago as a QOTSA rehearsal room joke — what if there was a pedal that could shift the blame for a fuck-up to the other guy’s amp? — and whispered secretly under the skull knob of the original Octavia. Now, finally real. A buffered, 3-way rotary wizard’s staff, a true switching architect, an A/B / ABY / dual effects-loop switcher with a transparent low-noise buffer, high-Z input and three selectable outputs.

II. The Ritual Compartment —
Hidden beneath, a second wooden chamber. Inside rests a candle holder cast from solder tin, its origin traceable to a French castle with a connection, paired with a custom-made beeswax candle. Beside it: the official TvL seal stamp, real sealing wax, to be melted with the candle to press the seal. An exclusive edition of TvL guitar picks, TvL seals and stickers, and other relics from the Lab.
