I can't claim to know much about audio and dB, but this thing works on 
multiplication...
its certainly got unlimited range in reducing volume, can go all the way to 
0%. and being able to multiply to 2 times greater is usually more than 
enough... 10 times greater can already be considered unlimited.

Isn't this sufficient? Or am I misunderstanding your point?...
