Billie Joe Armstrong’s Victoria 35210-T “Little Vicky”

Billie Joe used a Victoria 35210 amp, nicknamed Little Vicky, on American Idiot in 2004. Years later, the amp showed up in the Reverb “Green Day Garage Sale,” where some information was shared about it regarding its history. According to the listing, every clean tone on American Idiot was tracked through this amp, including the intros to “American Idiot” and “Homecoming.”

It has this big, nasty sound—I recorded it on everything,” Armstrong told us about Little Vicky. Why am I selling this thing again?
