I just picked up a Kustom Tube 12 for basically free!!! (swapped a set of Mexi Tele pups for it). It has your standard no name Chinese 12AX7 in it.

As it stands right now it is a decent sounding little practice amp, that can be used as a pre-amp, or extended...neat little beast.

I want to swap out the tube in it...I know this can drastically change to complextion of the amp...I was looking at a Tung-Sol 12AX7..but I really don't know much about the things.

Can I use different tubes (AT, AU, AY,6L6, EL34...ect) and what is the difference in the tone between them???

Not really into the high gain stuff...just like nice warm solid crunch.

Can you help me???

Try different preamp tube brands,but stick with 12AX7 for starters as a baseline on how it effects your amp's tone..
