It assumes no prior knowledge and won’t bog you down with math or gory details. Of course, you won’t be a professional engineer after reading it, but you will learn to recognize parts of audio circuits and identify what they do. You’ll even be equipped to piece together a custom distortion, fuzz, or boost pedal.
