opeth play pretty much all their songs in standard, except a couple in drop D.
thats all i can think of right now. Most others i know use Eb or standard D.

Yes, its Eb and everything since then with the exception of the covers (to my knowledge) have been in the same.

I think you have two options. Either tune down to a tuning you know you will use for not only your own writing, but for songs you want to play, and keep it there. or get a pedal that has a downtune or bend setting, which is what I do.

I have my Ibanez in E, but can tune it anywhere from E->B. I got bored, changed thes strings on my squier, and put it in C, I can put that bad ass little piece of shit in G if I wanted to. Although I swear to god, I played it in G for 5 minutes and ended up with a headache.
