Processor Loop

Can a processor loop on a preamp be used as alternative connection for a cassette deck?

ARC's in particular are wired that way. That arrangement is the very rational for the input! But Swampwalker is right---the inclusion of the word "loop" implies the input is NOT a straight pass-through one.
