Epicycloid Engineering Turbo Entubulator
The Turbo Entubulator is Epicycloid Engineering's flagship module: a tube breakout module that can produce effects ranging from simple VCA-like behavior all the way to gnarly tube distortion, wavefolding, and more. By providing direct, patchable access to the tube's pins, one can create a number of novel behaviors that all exploit the brilliant and peculiar nonlinearities of the included 6AR8 tube.
The Turbo Entubulator provides static and CV control of Deflector Bias and Offset as well as Grid Control and Screen voltages, allowing a number of patchable tube effects. Built-in cathode bias controls and automatic gain control help to reign in particular behaviors from tube distortion to nonlinear waveshaping.
The Turbo Entubulator requires connection to the Epicycloid Engineering Illumonix Prime power supply.

The Voluptron is a four pole lowpass ladder filter, but with tubes instead of transistors.
Both of these modules receive 200V power from the Illuminox Prime module to make sure the tubes are running at full power.
