From Hold Your Fire (1992). Hold Your Fire is the second studio album by the hard rock band FireHouse, released on June 16, 1992 by Epic. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for FireHouse's other songs from Hold Your Fire, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
Common Questions About the "Talk of the Town" Tone
What guitar did FireHouse use on "Talk of the Town"?
The guitar on "Talk of the Town" (released 1992) isn't documented; the Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.
What amp settings does "Talk of the Town" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 7.5, Bass 6, Mid 6, Treble 6.5, Presence 6, Volume 8. 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 "Talk of the Town" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Talk of the Town" 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.
