Looks like a Mk V. Think I bought one of these in about 1990.

It's a Mkv
But I don't know the year of made

Isn't mid-late '80s close enough..? Does it make a difference..? Just curious.

Ι don't know to be honest

Late 80's. This model was upgraded in 1991 with the inclusion of their popular dual compressor on the right hand side of the panel

Any clues on the back panel ?

I think the series 6 models came in '89 and I'm sure I've seen an old advert in a copy of guitarist from about '86 saying 'next generation' with a number of MK5 series amps so I'd have thought your GP11 would be between those dates..

As a foot note, series 6 and all following (SMX etc) went to 12 band EQ from 11 band with addition of the 30Hz slider.

The GP11 MKV wiring schematic I have is dated 2.12.86

I bought my Series 6 in 1988 or 89 when they first came out so pre that by a few years.
