What are you guys using for power? I already run into an issue running my Compressore (12v600ma) and now that I bought the Smoke Signal I'm looking into a neat solution.

Cioks DC7 or Eventide PowerMax.
I only use a few pedals so it's all daisy chained from a cell phone power bank plus adapter. The Compressore will run from one too. Now, the Compressore + a tube pre? The battery would deliver the current but I'm not sure about the adapter.
I have a USB-9V pedal adapter I got on Amazon, I think it says 800mA max output or something? Anyway I've verified that it can run a dual-tube pedal (providing the USB source can output enough juice), whether that's enough for your whole chain will depend on how much else you're trying to run with it, but as an important note it would probably drain your battery pack a lot faster than anything else, so you'll need to do some math do determine if it has enough capacity for a whole gig.
But the theory of USB battery pack+adapter can absolutely run a tube pedal or two.

Tube octavers and envelope followers certainly sound interesting, have been done to limited success but they always left me wondering ***. Legacy products like Link Removedhas it's fans, a few.
Some things need tubes, might be improved by tubes like the LabRatX and some things like your failed experiment with the Echosaurus just don't.
OTOH @Sushi Box FX is a cottage industry and this just might be your next hot product that I have to shake the piggy bank for so who am I trying to fool anyway.
USPS just sent me notice that the Fluffy Kitten has arrived at my local post office.
I need to bail it out, which will hopefully be this afternoon.
Given that USPS came into possession of the parcel on 13 Oct, seven days for shipment is not bad at all.
Now I know what to expect when the October Batch is finished and the Underground Accelerator starts its journey.

Just be patient with your local PO.. Just because it has been scanned arrived, doesn't necessarily mean that it has been sorted out of the hundreds of other packages it arrived with and is available for pickup..
Just a little word from the inside..shhh..
Oh battery power is intriguing. More than once I've shown up to no power laid out for the bass player assuming I wouldn't have any pedals.
I'm not positive, but I think this may be the first matte black King Nothing I've done.
There are a couple matte black Smoke Signals this month, and they look excellent. I'll start getting more pics in the next day or two.
All enclosures and boards for October have been finished, moving on to final assembly starting today.

I like that aesthetic for this one, given the name of it.
Oh man, the matte black looks so good! Is it too late to change my order #677 to the black?

Here's one to get the blood pressure going:
This parcel costs Tax. The amount is determined, it's €22,20,-
Due to Covid restrictions, the post delivery personnel is not allowed to perform cash transactions.
So here is how ze Germanz handle zis:
The parcel gets loaded into the delivery vehicle nonetheless. It gets a nice ride through town. When it arrives at my doorstep, the post person scans it and prints out a label, which tells me that a failed delivery attempt has been made. The parcel will not leave the car. Instead it'll finish its tour through town, and go into the depot for the night, where it can be retrieved the next day.
I honestly was so naive to believe that they simply keep that parcel in the depot and have the delivery person simply hand out the label.
So instead of today, I could collect it tomorrow. My car's not here tomorrow so I'll get it Friday or Monday.
...but with the number of available preorders for November drwindling rapidly, I panicked and sent out my order for the SS. I was torn between matte black or rainbow's end - matte black would be a tip of the hat in the direction of the original - but I went with fancy.
Not too late, but it's an extra $20 for the option. I can invoice you for the difference if you want.

Canada Post does the same thing if there are taxes or import fees owing.

Yup, anything that isn't just a clear powdercoat is an upcharge.
