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?

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