True enough. For me, it still makes a very harsh sound when you tremolo on an electric. So with volume the only option (if you don't like the tremolo sound), it's less vital. However I do understand that there are those who like the sound. And that is acceptable, fine and ok by me. In that case, you'd be happy with double courses.
