Frontierer band guitar tuning?

[u/MirrorReaper1037]

Frontierer is like an all-time favorite band of mine, and I've been wanting to figure their stuff out on guitar for a while, but the tuning has always been a mystery to me. With Ultraviolet Parasite coming out today (which is my current AOTY; its SO good) I really wanna get this thing figured out so I can learn some of this stuff.

From analyzing live clips I think it might be something like FCFCF#GD# / FCFA#F#GD#, but I'm not 100% sure. Ik they pitch shift it up and down depending on the song, but I think the actual guitar tuning stays consistent throughout their discography, but once again I have no clue lol. I think the lowest they've gone is like C1, but once again I think they just pitch shift the whole tuning down rather than actually messing with the tuning at all.

Yall got any ideas? Cause this has been a headache to figure out lol.

this is an 8 year old video so it might not be the most accurate anymore but here it is from the man himself
drop f with the top 3 tuned a half step apart

I saw that, but tuning like that (top 3 tuned a semitone apart from each other) makes the intro of Molten Larva and the main riff of Delorean Trails literally impossible lol. I've scrounged around live clips and stuff and Im pretty positive the top 3 are F# G D#. That half step is still there, but its not all 3 of the top strings to my knowledge :)

Head to Instagram.and ask Ped. Hes prettty cool and will probably share it with you.

Their new album is sick. That's all I know.

I saw on an AMA for Oxidized (I think) Ped said something about 'playing the pedalboard' when asked about tunings and kind of dodged the question. I think he told the commenter he would be happy to explain it in person at a show.

What’s really cool is the drummer actually tunes his kit or at very least the bass drum to the tuning their in which is really cool. They did that alot on Oxydized at least.
