The input signal drives QX15 (one half of a diff amp pair; consisting of transistors QX15 and QX16). QX16 is driven by a feedback signal from the output section through a 39K resistor (RX30). This 39K resistor is used to match the impedance seen at the base of QX15 so that the voltage at the base of both transistors is approximately 0.1V.

The first stage drives a second diff amp pair that is used to drive the output stage. This is where the clip indicator is connected. As QX12 and QX13 are being turned on and off, there is a constant current being delivered through RX27. This current sets up a voltage drop of about 0.45V that is seen at the base of QX14.

inductor then acts like a short around RX44. This protects the speakers from being damaged if the unit is on with the volume controls turned up.
