Another NewbiePreamp-Acoustic amp question

I have a PA I bought for practice, Behringer power mixer PMH2000 with 250 watts a channel and two JBL JRX115 speaker cabs. Instead of buying an acoustic amp, it would be cheaper to use one cab and the mixer and a preamp like the Baggs or BBE. Question, can you use the DI from the preamp for a house PA and at the same time use the 1/4 out to the Behringer? I guess my stupid question is more succinctly, will both outputs work at the same time?:o

The Countryman DI and the Baggs PADI can both be used like this...I presume most, if not all, other DIs will, also.

I often, particularily when having to work with over-enthusiastic drummers (see photo), run the hiZ out to an amp and the lo-Z to the mixer, simultaneously. The amp becomes my "guitar monitor".

Thank you sir. That solves my problem. I was dragging my feet on a preamp and was going to get the Baggs for a few months. Now, I'm sorta leaning towards the BBE, never had my hands on one but it's getting some good ink.
Going to an small acoustic amp for a monitor and DI out to a pa was the other choice.
