Peavey head tubes???

I have a Peavey head but I'm not sure what model it is. EDIT::: It's a Transtube Supreme It's not listed on their website so I'm assuming it's discontinued. It's a pretty standard head... nothing special. Anyway, the other night on stage my stack fell over and the head hit pretty hard. When I started playing it sounded like complete shit. No volume and all tone, no matter what I did. Obviously, I blew tubes.

That's fine with me because I've had the head for 4 years and never changed the tubes. My problem is: I don't know what tubes to buy! I'm not looking to spend a shitload of money, but I want something decent (of course METAL sounding!). Can anybody help me out?

EDIT::: It's a Transtube Supreme

I figured out it's a Transtube Supreme. I was surprised to see its list price as $530 (I got it for like $150 when a music store went out of business).

Forget it. I opened it up for the first time to find that it's solid-state and not a tube amp. I don't know what the hell's wrong with it, then.

It's a peice of shit anyway so I think I may just buy a new head. Something that's actually made for heavy music.
