I’m in as a fan of both the city and the band. I’ve never bought an album of theirs, though. Maybe now I know what I should do next time I feel like listening to something new yet good.

Speaking of his patents, I used to know a guitarist who had a Scholz Power Soak. You’d connect it between the output of your amplifier and the speaker cabinet. That way, you could turn the amp up to 10 and the Power Soak down to 1, and play your screaming, crunching Marshall and Les Paul while your parents were asleep in the next room. Of course, it wasn’t intended for bedroom use, but to get that roaring sound with less volume. It worked really well.
