First off, click on the ‘Track’ menu in the toolbar, then click ‘Show Tempo Track’. You can also use the keyboard shortcut ⇧ + ⌘ +T. This will open the Tempo Track. Now, this works in a similar way to Automation – there is a Tempo Line, along which you can double click to place adjustment Points. I haven't use GarageBand in a while, but I'm pretty sure you can't change the volume of the metronome. Forgive me for stating the obvious but you could try to keep the level on your pre-amp/audio card clean but lower the guitar's volume in garageband while recording and then just increase the overall volume?

Change the metronome settings
GarageBand has a metronome to help you play and record in time. The metronome includes a count-in that plays before recording starts, to help you get ready. When the visual count-in is turned on, the metronome displays the beat of the count-in. In the song settings, you can turn the count-in on or off, and change the sound of the metronome.
Open the song settings, then tap Metronome and Count-in.
To turn the count-in on or off, tap the Count In switch. When the count-in is on, you can turn the visual count-in on or off by tapping the Visual Count-in switch.
To change the sound of the metronome, choose a new metronome sound from the list.
To change the volume of the metronome, drag the Metronome Level slider left or right.

Turn off Follow Song Key for recordings and loops
By default, when you change the key of a song, the recordings and loops in the song change to match the new key (except Audio Recorder and Amp recordings). You can turn off this setting if you want to try out different keys without changing the recordings and loops in the song.
Open the song settings, tap Key Signature, then turn Follow Song Key off.
Tap Follow Song Key again to turn it on.
Show Time Ruler
You can change the ruler to show minutes and seconds (absolute time) instead of bars and beats. This can be useful if you want to record audio for a certain length of time, or for an interview or podcast. When the Time Ruler is on, snapping regions and notes to bars and beats is disabled.
Open the song settings, then turn Time Ruler on.
Add a fade-out
You can add an automatic fade-out to the end of a song. When you turn on Fade Out, the last ten seconds of the song fade to silence. If you extend the last section by adding or moving regions, the fade-out adjusts to the new end of the song. You hear the fade-out when you play or share the song, but not while recording.
Open the song settings.
Turn Fade Out on.
Tap Fade Out again to turn off the automatic fade-out.
Use 24-bit audio
When 24-bit audio is turned on, GarageBand records, mixes and exports audio in 24-bit resolution. 24-bit audio uses more storage space, but provides higher resolution for audio editing.
Open the song settings, then tap Advanced.
Turn 24-bit Audio Resolution on.
Send tempo information to music apps and MIDI devices
You can use MIDI clock to sync other music apps or MIDI devices to the tempo used in GarageBand when playing or recording.
Open the song settings, then tap Advanced.
Turn Send MIDI Clock on.
When you use Live Loops, MIDI clock is only sent when recording or playing back a Live Loops performance.
