I love muffs and have had a whole bunch of the variants over the years. I didn't even realize the revelation was muff based, but I use one and love it. I also use a tall font green Russian. I think the Russian muffs have tons of personality. Sometimes you have to stack them to get a usable EQ, but they rule.
I had a supercollider that I sold to the other guitarist in my band and that thing rules. I've always kind of regretted selling it, but it sounds so good with him playing it and I still benefit from that. It's not a low gain pedal. I don't know why someone said that. Would probably be a top recommendation for what you want, but it is very "distortion-y".
I've always regretted selling my hoof too. I did not find it boring. It had tons of volume, very tweakable mids and was heavy as fuck. I'd love to try a cloven hoof. Never tried stacking it, but I loved it.
Pharaoh is awesome. Everyone should have one. I currently have the badascan, which is a pharaoh/lstr combo and it's my favorite out of those three. That pedal was born for stacking. The EQ is really cool.
I sold the musket cause I thought it was kind of bland. Very tweakable. But somehow didn't do it for me. Of all my muff variants, it could be dialed in closest to the real civil war/tall font sound, which is noteworthy, but it's "super muff" and "muff with mids" sounds fell short (for me) of the other muff based pedals I had or even just stacking Russian muffs with other stuff. Kind of lacked personality.
I used to stack my civil war with an OCD in front and it was crazy awesome. I currently have a boneshaker in front of a tall font and it's probably my favorite yet. I know Russian muffs have gotten stupid expensive, but if you can find a faithful clone and stack it with a good utility pedal, I think that's the way to go.
