Recording notes

From Losing Streak (1996). Losing Streak is the second studio album by ska punk band Less Than Jake, released on November 12, 1996, on Capitol Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Telecaster through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Less Than Jake's other songs from Losing Streak, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.

Common Questions About the "Krazy Glue" Tone

  1. What guitar did Less Than Jake use on "Krazy Glue"?

    The guitar on "Krazy Glue" (released 1996) isn't documented; the Fender American Professional II Telecaster above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar. Tuned to standard (E A D G B E).

  2. What amp settings does "Krazy Glue" need?

    Settings for this sound: Gain 6.5, Bass 5, Mid 5.5, Treble 6.5, Presence 6, Volume 6. Each value is on the standard 0–10 amp scale; match them on your amp first, then nudge to taste. ToneMirror can translate these positions for whatever amp you actually own.

  3. Can I play "Krazy Glue" without the original gear?

    Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Krazy Glue" tone on a Katana, a Helix, a tube combo, or anything else. The translation accounts for EQ curve, gain structure, and pickup type so the result actually sounds like the record, not just the same knob numbers on different gear.
