Functionality clarifications
680pf ceramic cap and 150K resistor in parallel (treble bleed)
These two components are wired between the input and output of the volume pot to "bleed" treble frequencies through it and avoid muddy tone on lower settings. Loss of high frequencies does not trace back to the pot itself, but is instead a result of how a cable and preamp reacts to the added load of the pot. Hence the treble loss behaviour will be different in relation to cable properties and preamp construction. On some amps you might not need the treble bleed circuit at all and on some amps, it's almost necessary. In any case, whenever experiencing treble loss, the pot itself is rarely to blame and a change of pot will unlikely make any difference. This phenomenon is closely related to high output impedance and as such, mostly passive pickups are affected. Active pickups commonly have a notably lower output impedance which means that little to no treble loss will come from turning the volume pot down.
499K resistor (volume resistance compensation for single coils)
This resistor is wired in parallel with the resistance of the volume pot whenever a single coil or split humbucker pickup position is chosen on certain models. This makes the pickup(s) see a volume control load that more closely resembles what is commonly used for single coil pickups (approximately 250k) and soften the tone from these.
0,047uF Mylar film cap (tone control frequency compensation for humbucker on the switch)
This cap is wired in series with the cap on the tone control to alter the cutoff-frequency between humbucker and single-coil pickup positions on certain models. This means that the value of the tone control cap will effectively be 0,047uF in single-coil pickup positions and 0,022uF in humbucking pickup positions.
