From Mmhmm (2004). Mmhmm is the fourth full-length studio album by American rock band Relient K, released on 2 November 2004 by Gotee and Capitol. 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 Relient K's other songs from Mmhmm, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
