A tone control is nothing more than a variable resistor and cap, in series, from the volume pot input to ground, although some people like to put the tone control on the volume pot wiper lug. (I've never bothered with that, myself, so I can't comment on the difference.)
If you want to simulate a tone control on ten, use a resistor equal to the full value of the tone pot that you would have used. If the guitar has Fender style single coils, the tone pot probably would have been a 250K pot, so use a resistor near 250K ohms. If the guitar has humbuckers, the tone pot probably would have been a 500K pot, so use something close to 500K ohms.
If you want to simulate a tone control that is turned down, a little, use a resistor that has a lower value. A tone control on 10 has the full value of the pot in series with the cap. As you turn the tone control counterclockwise, you have less and less of the value of the pot in series with the cap.
