It would depend on the output impedance of the pedal - if it can get the guitar signal to the appropriate level then I don't see why not. Check the specs for the pedal to be sure. One thing though is that the guitar signal would not be a dry one in to the soundcard but guitar plus any colouration from the pedal.

On Marshall site it says that output impendance is <1kOhms, which is pretty high and needs HI-Z input on the card as well.
Best and cheapest way to overcome this problem is to get a good&cheap DBox unit or mic preamp unit with instrument line in.
