Can some one explain the yorkville xm200 bass schematic?

I was playing the bass amp when a lighting stroke very near by. Since then, the amp sounded very little and distorted. I was trying to fix it but i messed it more. If I feed a sine wave to the 0 db input, can someone explain to me the output of the stages starting with U7:A up to the inductor.

Ps. I keep burning resistor R84 every time I power it up.

Update:

@GibsonEssGee thanks for the commenting. I am getting -25V at FET-CTL with a ripple of 10 volts. Is this supposed to happen?

Update 2:

What is U5:B supposed to do. It seems to be like a comparator or something.

    There's any number of shut down circuits from U7A onwards including the photodetector determining U7A's gain. Suspects for frying R84 would be Q15,16,17 and 2 or the associated transistors controlling them but I'd start by checking Q15,16,17 and 2 out of circuit and working backwards. Have a look at the voltage between TP1 and TP2 and adjust for 2mV with P7 as recommended on the diagram first before you break out the soldering iron. If you can't adjust it or it's a zillion miles away from 2mV that's another clue as to where things are going wrong.
