Tone-y

It's the confusion of terms! No-load, as in open circuit, or a direct hard connection removing the resistance of the pot. I guess it depends if you've got a parallel of series connection.
I'm confident that with standard type pots, I can tell the difference in tone with either a treble bleed cap fitted or different tone cap values (provided they are different enough). I don't know enough about the circuit and pot designs to know whether the caps really are 'taken out of the circuit' on 10, or even if they are, whether the natural resistances of the rest of the circuit is enough to form a pseudo tone/vol circuit and that being the reason that I can hear a difference.
