Explain logic of gain and output on plugins ?

[twanger]

Am wondering what the design logic is regarding the gain and output settings of plugins.    Have noticed this on a few plugins, dont know if it applies to all, but...  With the output turned all the way down, why is signal still coming thru, until I also turn the input gain down.  I would expect that the output is output, and when turned down all the way, nothing would come thru.   I must be missing something.  (Not the first time.)

The FX Bin can be pre fader or post fader. See if one of these helps. Also if it the PC (ProChannel) it can be pre FX Bin or post FX Bin.
