Since you can bias each power tube individually in that amp, you'd probably do best just buying one that matches what you've got now.
Then again, if they're over 2 years old, you might be better off replacing the whole set. If you do, try either the fat glass EI 6CA7's, or some Svetlana EL 34's. Conrad Johnson sells replacement tube sets for this amp; they tend to charge a premium, but at least you'll know the tubes have all been tested and run it at the voltages your amp operates at. That's worth something, especially if you're new to tubes, and don't want to mess around with rolling a lot of tubes. That is a great little amp you have there-I'm not sure their current MV 55 in much of an improvement.
