Toggle switch as tone control

I use a tone pot only on 10 or 0. Is there a way to wire in a mini toggle switch to replace the tone pot? Thanks

yep. how much high end to do you want to roll off? do you know the value of your tone cap now? wire it from the switch to ground. there is a loading of the pup from the tone control even on 10 so if you remove the pot from the equation, youll get a little more high end

Basically I want it to act just like a tone pot so when I roll all the way off the switch in one position and when the pot is on 10 the switch would be in the other position.

One leg of the capacitor to ground.
The other leg to one lug of the mini SPST switch.
The other lug of the switch to the hot pickup lead.
