(Same with if I play something out of itunes or anything else like that). It seems like the virus just isn't letting me get any legit levels without maxing things out to the point that I have 0 headroom.

I am thinking that this is a noob problem with a noob solution.

EQ in the FX section can help you, it apply a sort of Overdrive without 3rd Harmonics... Just try!

Yeah I've definitely noticed that the EQ can work wonders, and in some cases it fixes my volume issues, but sometimes not.

Put simply

speaker cables have 2 cores running side by side. Instrument/guitar cables have the inner core running inside the outer core what acts as a shield. If you want to take it further use balanced cables what have a hot and cold as well as a shield, cuts out unwanted noise and hum you can pick up from running past lots of power points etc.

Fot long cable runs you should use balanced, for short runs Instrument (not speaker) jack to jacks are fine.

It would be worse though if you used the instrument/guitar cable as a speaker cable.
