Certainly a good alternative. What’s more interesting to me is that these could be used (with mosfet, inductor, diodes, caps etc) to generate well over 100V. The amount of current is pretty tiny but it’s enough for a couple 12A_7.

It would be really fun to do some tube pedals that don’t have starved plates like pretty much all of the popular projects out there

Sushi Box FX is doing full-voltage tube pedals with a 555-based HV power supply generating ~200V! They have a couple of DIY projects available too, I've got a Space Heater PCB and enclosure sitting on my desk ready for a free moment to come by...
