The mix seems well balanced, but I think you might need to tweak the master EQ. Overall it could be just a bit brighter. Great job with the mixing/recording so far dude.

Any advice for the tone itself?
When i turn the gain up, and have it exactly where i want it (it's distorted enough to where there's sustain, but it's no overgained.) things become grainy.
When i turn the gain down the TINIEST bit, the grain goes away, but then it's extremely undergained.

How many tracks do you have for the guitars? Two? One hard left/one hard right? Try layering more guitar tracks to thicken them up (i.e. 2 hard left/2 hard right with different tones), then you don't need as much gain.
I'm not a guitarist so you could take my advice and throw it out the window.

Normally I'd do that, but this band is on a budget of around 1.3-1.5k, so I can't really take the extra time to record the extra guitars with them. It was hard enough to get the 2 takes
I appreciate the advice though, man!

No problem, man. Since you only have two guitar tracks to work with, you still may be able to thicken them up. Layer two tracks of track #1 hard left, then layer two tracks of track #2 hard right, and EQ them all differently. I've never tried it but it may work.

i know this is totally late, but something to take into consideration for your next project is to add a mastering preset (lets say from T Racks 3) to the guitar tracks in your sidechain. i've been doing it for awhile now and it really pushes the guitars quite a bit and makes them sound super full. there's a preset in T Racks 3 called FM Broadcast that i use, although i turn the clipper's input gain down to 0db. just some food for thought. peace
