Weber 5e3 Layout Issue - 500 pf Bright Cap
This problem was noticed by someone else. I thought I would post it again in case other newbies don't notice it up front.
The weber 5e3 layout was inconsistent with the chassis labeling (on the chassis I received). The layout shows the 500pf cap hooked to the normal vol pot (as labeled on the chassis). And once it is mounted in the chassis, that is how it works the tone control is hooked to normal vol pot. Consequently the tone control controls the brightness on the normal inputs. It is a minor issue and an easy fix. But it was confusing... I was wondering why I was not getting much treble using the bright input jack. I did some checking and figured it out. I also cross-checked against the fender original and reissue layouts... they were different than Webers.
Here is the other post for reference.

I notified Weber, they are going to review it.
