While attending college, he set up a music recording studio in his parents' garage in Moraga, California which he named Dangerous Rhythm Studios. In 1983, Sharp Young Men recorded "Quiet in Heaven/Song of Liberty" at Dangerous Rhythm. The single was released under the band's new name of Faith. No Man., its only release before the majority of its members left to form Faith No More the following year. Wallace relocated Dangerous Rhythm Studios to Oakland, California and hired Kevin Army, who later bought the studio from Wallace. In 1985, Wallace produced Faith No More's debut album We Care a Lot and returned to work with the band for Introduce Yourself (1987). Wallace relocated to Los Angeles in 1988 and worked for Slash Records as a staff producer and A&R person. He lobbied to produce The Replacements album Don't Tell a Soul (1989). The same year, he again worked with Faith No More, producing and mixing their breakthrough album The Real Thing, which featured the hit song, "Epic," as well as its follow-up, Angel Dust, named the #1 most influential album of all time by Kerrang! in 2003.

The album was certified double platinum in Canada.

The album has sold over 20 million copies worldwide, streamed over 1 billion times on Spotify, and won a Grammy Award for "Best New Artist" in 2005. Since then, Wallace has co-written songs and produced two albums for O.A.R. He has also co-written and produced several songs for Andy Grammer, an album for Pepper, and mixed Blackberry Smoke's album The Whippoorwill. In 2015, Wallace joined Faith No More again to co-mix their album, Sol Invictus. The album debuted at number 1 on the Billboard Hard Rock Album chart.
