If the value of the potentiometer is higher than the input impedance 
you connect the pedal to, you get this effect.

there it is, the mixer probably has 20kOhm input and the pedal 100kOhm or 
more.

Most pedals that dont reach 0 can be mechanically adjusted, just 
loosen the pot a bit and turn it until its all closed.
