HELP! I read too much. Triaxis Tubes?

[LegGodt]

I want to get new tubes for my Triaxis. So like a good Mesa user, I read through the forums on Boogie Boards, did some alternate google searches, talk to friends (other Mesa users), and talk to people at the local Guitar Center.

Problem: Now I'm confused. :shock:

I'm going to list stuff out to make it easier.

My rig:
Triaxis
Rocktron Intellifex
Rocktron Replifex
Rocktron Intellipitch
2:90
90 watt Theile
200 watt Theile

All controlled by a Rocktron All Access

My influences:
Joe Satriani
John Petrucci
Alex Lifeson
Steve Morse
Ty Tabor

The sound I am looking for:
Alex Lifeson cleans
Petrucci leads
Morse leads
Tabor chunk
Satriani Rhythms

Now I know not all of these players use a Triaxis, but I know it can get the tones ...
So the question .... what tubes do I get?

My thoughts so far:
V1 - JJ/ECC83s
V2 - Mullard 12AT7WA
V3 - RCA 5751 black plate/3-mica
V4 - JJ/ECC83s
V5 - RCA black plate 12BZ7

- Dudley

Just a suggestion, you might want to try the JJECC803 in V1 instead, the former I've found to crunch out pretty early and you might not get the headroom you want out of it for the artist influences you mentioned.

hey platypus,,are you using that ecc803 in a combo? Id like to try it too but I read somewhere that the long plates dont withstand well in combos.
