The ones shown look like typical caps used for guitar tone controls. (not in the amp)

As used in a guitar, a 'tone cap' is a capacitor that basically works with a potentiometer to make an RC circuit to shunt the higher frequencies to ground.
The basic circuit adds nothing.
It simply is an adjustable treble cut.
