Just plug it into the jack (instrument) input and use the gain control on the Audiobox. It should work fine.
Most guitar effects pedals are designed to be plugged into a gui
Most guitar effects pedals are designed to be plugged into a guitar amps input hence are typically instrument level. They often have an output control which you may want to be sure is set to a lower level less than half above 25%. If the signal is not clipping at moderate gain settings on the the audiobox you should be fine. I plug my Korg effects pedal in this way all the time, same with distortion, chorus, etc.
