Getting a good mic'd cab sound?

Heres my take, raw.

I was just wondering what you guys thought, and what I need to do to get a better sound. I think it's alright but I don't have an ear for it at all. It would help me out if you could just give me some criticism on how it sounds and how to improve it.. Thanks and Godbless..

haha, i totally did not expect a blink 182 song to play!

well, i'd say right off the bat you need more gain first of all, i know pop punk uses more than that. if you are using an amp that doesn't have much gain, try using an overdrive pedal like a tube screamer.

I'm using a Mesa Boogie Roadster, lol.

The gains on about 1, I'm not a fan of a lot of gain but I'll turn it up some more in the future.

I re did it and put it in a mix.
