I need help with my punk rock tone?

mpdd has it right. I had a 400 watt all tube power amp, an Aguilar DB728. I box capable of massive tone. I never could extract all its lusciousness because it was so loud at max it would shake the walls and make me deaf. The next tube amp I get will be 100 to 150 watts.

been using a mesa d180, with the master volume you can dial up a variety of different od options and at 200 watts it's pretty darn loud when clean too

So I really don't like Blink 182, but I found this isolated bass track on YouTube. Even though I don't like the band, I like Mark Hoppus' tone. I have never set out to play the same gear, but we do. Basses, amps, picks...etc. I know he uses some fuzz on occasion, but I particularly like the tone on this YouTube isolated bass track:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2BSFh0zuwDs&list=PLlGkmqHFW95Q3KGifJ-BOafWTAeNHEQnw&index=57

On the other hand, I like his bass tone on this isolated bass track, but it is very crunchy sounding and more abrasive. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=35XV8UAdBMU&list=PLlGkmqHFW95Q3KGifJ-BOafWTAeNHEQnw

Both are "Punk Rock" tones. One has a softer edge but still has that bite of a pick playing Fender P-Bass. The other seems a bit too clanky.

What is the difference between these tones? Does the first one have compression, distortion, effect pedal?
