Almost all adverbs that modify other adverbs do so as adverbs of degree, including: very, almost, most, just, least, fairly, incredibly, really, so, and too.
The adverb being modified will be one of time, or manner, and can be "scaled" by these degrees:
Examples:
almost completely
too powerfully,
most beautifully,
so late
least understandably
You can, in some cases, stack them (within reason):
"just so incredibly well"
"almost completely below"
