It certainly can and it will still drive it's own power amp too. :)

Also, as Spikei said, the return can accept another amp's preamp signal.

Depending on the other amp you might also need a volume pedal. For example, the jcm2000 amps have their master volumes before the fx-loop while the VM has the master volume after the loop. So if you run the VM preamp to a DSL power amp you can't use either of the master volumes. But you'll have two master volumes if you run the DSL preamp to the VM power amp :o
