I'm away from the Evolver right now so this may not be too helpful or correct.  
But I was having the opposite problem (input signal to low) and later while 
reading through the manual I noticed that there seem to be a couple of 
different parameters that effect the input gain.  Is that correct?  I know there's 
"Input Gain" but I think there's something more to it  too. 

Of course you could always turn down the signal before it hits the Evolver.  
Also double check to make sure you don't have distortion turned on 
elsewhere (distortion, input hack, etc.).  And in general the signal chain of the 
Evolver can be distorted at lots of points so check the whole gain structure of 
the patch from beginning to end (i.e. maybe the delay or something is 
distorting).
