This diagram illustrates a fourteen pin 74LS08 Quad 2-input AND gate, and its truth table. The 74LS08 contains four AND gates. The inputs to the first AND gate are at 1A and 1B represented by pins 1 and 2, while the output is at pin3. The second AND gate has inputs 2A and 2B on pins 4 and 5 with its output on pin 6. The common ground connection is shown on pin 7, while 5-volt power is supplied to pin 14. The third AND gate has its inputs at 3A and 3B, on pins 9 and 10, with its output on pin8. The 4th AND gate shown as 4A and 4B are on pins 12 and 13, with its output on pin 11.
This gain stage forms the real muscle of the amplifier. The output of the second Op-Amp at pin 6 is fed directly to a speaker through resistor R7, which is used to protect the output of the amplifier as well as protecting the speaker from too much current. establishes the input impedance to the amplifier circuit. 1-mF capacitor at C1. Capacitor C1 is used to block low frequency signals and couple the input to the next stage as well as keep any constant DC voltage from the guitar away from the input to the Op-Amps.
This relationship is called Ohm’s Law and it is the backbone of simple electronics formulas for electronics. In its simplest form it is shown as the equation V= I ∗ R, which says voltage (V) is equal to current (I) multiplied by resistance (R). Voltage is represented as electromotive force where V is used instead of E. Current represented as (I) is in amperes or amps; in typical electronic circuits milliamps may be used, and this is shown as 1/1,000 or an ampere. 001 amp, abbreviated as mA or ma.
