Turning OFF direct source (guitar) and hearing just plug in? How to?

Question

In Nuendo I think you just hit the monitor button or in my case open Mackie control panel and turn down the volume (if loaded) and then all I hear is the plug in and guitar sim and
NO actual sound.
Looking to do the same in Logic.
Right now I hear both processed and non-processed.
Thanks!

Two possible monitoring sources:
1) Output from Logic--something routed to your audio interface from Logic (track/channel, aux, bus)
2) Direct monitoring through your audio interface
You need to turn one of them off to avoid doubling/phasing.
If you're happy monitoring the dry signal, just turn off "Software Monitoring" in the Logic Audio/Driver prefs. Or mute any objects assigned to that input. That'll kill #1.
If you need to monitor through Logic to hear the processing, you'll need to disable direct monitoring (#2), which will be controlled from outside Logic--either via software, or directly on your hardware.
