When putting new string on your volume pedal,do you wind it so it can go wide open,or so it will shut clear down.travel in the pot won,t allow both.

I feel the same. When I say "off", I want nothing coming out! The slight bit of high volume you lose (maybe 10%?) will never be noticed. I've even seen steelers who never run their amp volume over 6 complain, and who try modding the pedal to get that last 10%.

Go figure.

I'm the opposite.
I never allow my pedal to shut off.

I like to have my pedal full on even though I have plenty of room left on my amp's volume .I feel the guitar sounds better when the pick up is turned right on .

I set my volume pedal to give my Guitar just a "little" volume in the "OFF" position.

If you play a lot at home in a quiet atmosphere, you may want the volume to turn completely OFF. If you play with a band, I think it is best that it gets maximum volume. If you have 2 volume pedals, set one for each condition if it makes you feel better.
I have always set my volume pedals to get maximum volume.
The Hilton pedal allows you to set the minimum and maximum levels to your taste.

This May be a Thing That Applies To Where You Are Playing, I Play Clubs Mostly And I Prefer To Barely Hear The Guitar With The Pedal In The Off Position,I Think It Would Be Whatever You Are Comfortable With.
