Why is there a -24dB lower limit on the gain reduction that can be applied to the output of a module? I want to use one expression pedal as a volume master pedal, but with a high headroom guitar amp, -24dB is still very audible, so essentially, I cannot lower the volume to zero. I don't know if I am doing somehting wrong or else, but this is a problem.

Please let me know.

We intended these controls for level matching and just didn't anticipate this usage of them as volume controls.  I can't think of any reason not to extend the range so they go all the way to silence though, and we can add this in a software update.
