You might need to try different buttons on your audio interface, possibly an instrument/line level button. Your guitar has a microphone and is not a line level input.


Also, if you are using MacOS 14 (Sonoma), while Logic is running, make sure the mic is set to standard in the control center on the top right of the Finder.
