That's pop rock, not punk.

Anyways, the guy from Blink-182 uses a Mesa Triple Rectifier and a Strat with a Seymour Duncan Invader.
I don't know how to set up your gear to sound the way you want it, though. I personally can't stand punk, much less pop punk, so I don't even know what it should sound like, but if it sounds too heavy, turn up the mids and turn the bass, highs, and gain down some (but don't scoop anything).
