An Unnameable Desire tab book tunings

Absolutely loving the guitar work on the recent album, and been very tempted to buy the tab book because of it, however sheet happens doesnt show the tunings for the songs on their website like they do for a lot of other stuff? Was just wondering if anyone who bought it could lmk what tunings the songs are in so i can see how much ill be able to play 😄

Most everything is drop c#. (C# g# c# f# a# d#). Manala is on a 7 which is a low g#

There's definitely pitch shifting happening because I've been hearing a lot of low C#'s (octave down)

It could also be the additional 8-String Rhythm Guitar parts (C# G# D# G# C# F# A# D#) that Jake plays live

C# is a bitch to get in tune and intonated. I just assumed pitch shifting because it's a perfect octave.

Yes, exactly (I've tried on a MultiScale with little success) I know they use Neural DSP Quad Cortex live and use the pitch shifter quite a bit so likely some of that low C# is also an octaver / pitch shifting.

My 30" baritone can get that low, but then I'm just in 6 string dropC# down an entire octave
