It sounds like you're saying either/both that you're unsure where the inputs can be
assigned in the Logic user interface screen, OR which input corresponds to where you
plug in your guitar cable.
The input/ouptut assingments for each channel are seen above the fader for each
instrument. There will be a little button with "off" written (that's the automation setting).
Then just above that are the input/output, with the input on top.
If you're unsure what channel is the appropriate input for your guitar. Make a New
Session, with an Empty Session, create 8 new audio instruments, and assign the first two
#1 input with "ascending" checked. Record arm all. Open up the mixer window and as
you play the guitar you will probably see which input was the correct one for the guitar. If
not, keep assigning inputs (in sequential banks of 8) until you find the winner.
The last thing it might be is a setting in the Tascam. For my MBox I have to identify the
input as a line input before it's recognized by the interface, and then by Logic/Pro Tools.
