Headroom is sort of the point where an amp's output section begins to overdrive/clip/distort. Output is sorta more like actual volume/loudness.
This is much different then the overdrive you get from using the Drive or Gain knob on your amp.
As mentioned this amp has a control that lets you dial in the amount of distortion you want. Learning how to use the controls will help you dial in cleaner sounds.
For instance, make sure you're amp is not in the "Drive" channel. There should be a button or switch to disengage and put you into the normal clean channel.
Another thing is turn the Gain down. Volume or "Master" is what you want to use more than Gain.
Speakers can help with cleaning things up a little bit as well... but I know you're already considering a speaker change too :)
What guitar and pickup are you feeding this amp?
