Looking for a tuner that will let me go at least a step and a half for that old sabbath stuff. 6th string E would be a C#. Can a standard tuner do this ??? Kinda new to electric. Been acoustic for 30 years. Time to rock a little. Thanks.

Sabbath didnt tune evrything like that. They tuned down a step for a few songs, sometimes a step and a half, sometimes they didnt tune down.

A full step would be d-a-f-c-g-d

I know After Forever was played tuned down a step.
Children Of The Grave may have been tuned down a step and a half as a matter of fact Lord Of This World may have also been a step and a half.

A lot of tunes off Master Of Reality could have been played that way.

I never changed my tuning for songs like Iron Man , Paranoid or War Pigs.
