It is linear.
But the fault is serious ( I' m used to repair SSL 4000, 9000, Neve VR, 88R and all studio machines...).
It could be due to multi layer print board damage!
All regulation ICs , Diode bridges, condenser are OK and the " after transformer" fuse breake at once !!!
So I need the schematic ( I can buy it...)...
Very best,
