stil in mij amp settings — Blackstar Fly 3
The van dikhout guitar tone for “stil in mij”, dialed in for a Blackstar Fly 3 with a Ibanez GIO GRG170DX. Studio version, debut album 'Van Dik Hout' (1994)
Mid-90s Dutch studio setup likely using Roland JC-120 or Fender combos with moderate overdrive pedals (Boss OD-1/SD-1 era typical), Stratocaster-style guitars, Hammond organ layering
| Knob | Setting (0–10) |
|---|---|
| Gain | 6 |
| Bass | 6 |
| Treble | 7 |
| Reverb | 2 |
| Master | 7 |
The Blackstar Fly 3's Overdrive channel provides the warm, compressed crunch needed for this nederpop tone. Since the Fly 3 lacks mid and presence controls, the bass/treble balance at 6/7 compensates—slightly bright to cut through like the original's harmonic layers, with moderate bass to avoid muddiness in the small speaker. Your humbuckers deliver more output than the likely single-coils on the original, so gain stays at 6 rather than 7-8.
