From Small Faces (1967). Small Faces is the second studio album by Small Faces, released through Immediate Records on 23 June 1967. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Junior through a Vox AC30 C2, the rig we use for Small Faces' other songs from Small Faces, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the single pickup.
Common Questions About the "Talk to You" Tone
What guitar did Small Faces use on "Talk to You"?
The guitar on "Talk to You" (released 1967) isn't documented; the Gibson Les Paul Junior above gets the sound. Pickup selector: single pickup on the guitar.
What amp settings does "Talk to You" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 5.5, Bass 5, Mid 6, Treble 6.5, Presence 6, Volume 7. 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 to You" 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 to You" 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.
