is it possible to wire a foot switch into the reverb circuit to it can be turned on and off on the fly?

2 seconds of google search found this:

When you turn the reverb control to minimum reverb (off) it puts the wiper of that pot to earth. If you just connect a foot switch across from the pot wiper to earth it will defeat the reverb, when you open the switch the reverb will be on again. What could be easier?

yay! i thought it would be something more complex, so i figured i would just post rather than search, guess not....
has anyone on the forum done this?

he's saying connect a footswitch that grounds the wiper of the pot when you hit the switch.
