I'm sitting here for hours and my ears are like shit
right now but nonetheless I can't seem to get a decent
tone out of Revalver.

For whatever reason, a single guitar doesn't seem thick
enough, even not when quad tracked.

Here's a short (sloppy) raw test riff soloed with no processing at all:

Here's a screen of the settings:

Anything utterly wrong with that besides "too much gain"?

I believe the input signal isn't strong enough but it's just a guess, my chain is as follows:

ESP LTD with EMG 81s (active) -> Maxon OD808 -> M-Audio Audiophile 2496 (interface) -> Revalver MKII w. Guitarhacks louder impulses and the Wagner Sharp Host.

Anything wrong with that?
Maybe an active DI-Box in between there would do the trick? Should I buy one to raise the input there?

ANY help appreciated cause I'm totally lost here :puke:
 
Doesn't sound that bad to me at all.
Double it, pan hard L/R and it will sound great.
Maybe tuning and/or intonation of your guitar can help...
