Answer: None, they got yanked as soon as i brought the amp home.

Ok seriously.....they are pretty durable tubes but it depends on how much playing you do and what kind of playing. Home jamming and they would probably last indefinately. Frequent gigging and they'd need replaced alot sooner.

If i play more then 2 hours a day how many hours will they last ?

Depends alot on how hard you push them....not just hours in operation. Lots of EQ/gain/volume and they will wear out faster. Moderate setting and a bedroom volume and tubes can last for years. My buddy put new tubes in his triple 4 years ago after he got out of a band and it still has them in there and they still put out raping tone...but it has been mostly bedroom levels those 4 years.
