This amp was used on the American Idiot album on the song Homecoming. He uses two of these amps, one being clean and one being distorted.
J Mascis points out his Victoria Tweed Twin at 30:06 in this Rig Rundown from Premier Guitar. “It's a high powered Twin Copy. I think the model number is 80212. This is 80 watts and 212 inches.”

“I’ve found that some of the amps that sound great are just not loud enough. And I don’t want to put the signal through the monitors if I can at all avoid it. Generally you can find the Mesa Boogie Mark III combos on the road 90% of the time, and that’s my favorite amp, because they have the EQ and I jack the shit out of that, say to roll off highs and add lows and mids, and that, with my guitar and my set-up really makes it-on Bump it’s the [Mesa] Boogie with all the pedals. But I’ve also had good luck on the road with Fender’s new Twin, not the re-issue. On Works for Me I used what is called a Victoria High Powered Twin, a 2-12? with a tiny touch of RATT and a little bit of reverb…but not enough. And the Victoria doesn’t have the bottom of the Mark III, but it has a quality I like, and I used on the new record. I bought one of those tubed outboard Fender Reverb units to go with it, but I only used a bit of plate on Works for Me.”
In this interview, Steve Cropper says
Yes, it was the Victoria 80212, modeled after the Fender Twin. It has a tweed covering, and it’s all handmade, even the vacuum tubes.
In this article, about Ruben Block of Triggerfinger, it is mentioned, "With the two Victoria tweed twins and the FAD cabinet still there, this time he also had two Hiwatt heads (one of which was not powered on) and a Vox Night Train head (a stylish budget single channel valve amp) on stage with him".
