True, but if you smack up against the ends of the pot when you stamp on the pedal, you'll break it even quicker, so the mechanical stops pretty much have to be before the ends of the pot travel, even if only a little.

On some old crybabies, one of the "mods" was to adjust the travel so that you get either a slightly higher or slightly lower part of the range.
