Wait, so there's a way to clean up your sound without a decrease in volume? Thats pretty much how I want my volume knob to work but it never works perfectly that way. If I were to do this on purpose, would it work the way I want it?

well not exactly. it depends on your amp settings. I'm assuming your running into an amp that's being driven hard and you're turning the volume down to clean it up.
If that's the case, the sound of the guitar hitting the amplifier is being very heavily compressed - there's a certain point where no matter how much volume you keep adding, the tubes will only get more distorted but not increase output. When you turn the volume down,the natural compression of that amp/channel will still be about the same volume, but it'll be less distorted. once you get below that certain threshold that it's not compressing the signal anymore, you will hear the output going down.
