Four GE 6550, and you have a much better amp.
They are more musical than the current tubes, and they are a must if you listen to rock in this amp.

You can try other 6922 tubes and see what you like, I find the NOS to be a more interesting to listen then the current production.
YMMV

If you look closely at my profile, you would understand that I am not a NEW YORKER too. :)
I had this amp for 3 years, and yes the tubes I was referring to are NOS General Electric 6550. They sound considerably different (to my ears better) from the stock 6550 the amp came with.
You can find them on the net

I bought from here
