    Found out that the new Arturia mix drums effect has pentode distortion which seemed like something you don’t usually find and now I’m looking for something standalone that might have this type of distortion, even a VCV module would help… any good ones not like tied to a bundle or stuff like waves/overloud?

    SoundToys Decapitator ('P' button) and BlackBox HG2 (literally has a 'Pentode' knob lol) both have it.

    UAD's Culture Vulture (which the Decapitator T and P modes actually emulate) has the P1 and P2 settings too.

    There's a triode / pentode switch on the Wavegrove HCL Varis compressor. The sound is very different between the two modes.
