Not quite sure what you mean by this, but I always leave the guitar volume alone and adjust levels at a later point in the signal chain. That might be with the preamp output level (which is after my comp in the effects loop), at the mixer if I have control of it, or at the amp or monitor. As you say, the level of the guitar at the very beginning of the chain can mess with lots down the line, whether it be effects, driving an amp, monitor levels or FOH levels (and if you have someone else doing FOH, they won't be super happy if you keep twiddling your guitar levels from the stage).
