Overdrive Special Rock/Jazz Switch

Hi all - in the Overdrive Special PCB there's a switch labeled Rock/Jazz. In the schematic, it looks like one side of the switch goes to ground and the other goes nowhere. Which side would be the "rock" and which would be the "jazz"?

The switch inserts a low-pass filter that’ll shave off high frequencies; when it’s not connected, the highs aren’t going through the capacitor to ground so the full frequency range is being passed.

I don’t know for sure but I’m assuming “Jazz” is when it’s in the circuit, and “Rock” is when it isn’t, since jazz is usually darker tones?

That was my thinking - nice to have a second opinion. Thanks!!
