So maybe I would like something with more headroom if thats even possible?
I was thinking having some sort of purpose built physical mixer might increase the level of control I have on my sound, and maybe let me boost my mic level without distortion. But it sounds like thats the opposite of what would happen lol

If you need 4 preamps and the Focusrite Scarlett series is the level of performance you are after you could look at their 18i8 interface.
However, are you sure you want/need to record more than 2 channels at once? Are you just recording the guitar, or also vocals, or also ?
Regarding your recorded levels, I doubt that your problem is your interface. What mic are you using, and at what distance? Where is the gain set on your interface and what are the record levels shown on your DAW?
