From His 'n' Hers (1994). A jittery, early-Pulp track with bright, slightly spiky guitar. Equipboard's page for Pulp points to the video for Something Changed, where Russell Senior is playing a Fender Jazzmaster, and Wikipedia also lists a Jazzmaster among Mark Webber's guitars. No source documents the guitar or amp on this track, so a Fender American Professional II Jazzmaster into a Vox AC30 C2 stands in. Keep the amp clean, just on the edge of breakup, and play the bridge pickup. The rest of the album is in standard tuning, so that is assumed here.
Common Questions About the "Pink Glove" Tone

The guitar on "Pink Glove" (released 1994) isn't documented; the Fender American Professional II Jazzmaster above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar. Tuned to standard (E A D G B E).

Settings for this sound: Gain 3.5, Bass 5, Mid 6, Treble 6, Presence 4, 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.
Can I play "Pink Glove" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Pink Glove" 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.
