I have this, but haven't done anything serious with it yet. This model is specifically target towards guitar players, it has combination hi-z/line/XLR inputs. The other models like F3/F6 do not have the guitar inputs.
You would want this if you want a 'field' recorder for guitar (plus other acoustic or instruments with line outs), without having to mess with an audio interface + phone/laptop. It does have an audio interface mode, so you can connect it via USB-C and use it with your DAW.
It has 4 tracks, 2 simultaneous inputs. But you are not limited to 4 tracks in your recordings. You can record an 'unlimited' number (maybe 99) of takes per track. It stores all the takes as separate .wav files. So you have 1 wav active per track, but can keep recording new wav files on each track. You can use those as alternate takes, or to double your parts. On the device itself you have an additional bounce track. When you have 4 parts down you can bounce them to a separate track (not part of the 4). Then record 4 more parts along side the bounce. You can then bounce the 4 new parts, so the bounce has 8, then do 4 more new tracks, and so on. You have the bounce track, but also all the individual tracks you recorded. For final mixing you'd probably connect to your computer, transfer the individual wav files into your DAW, and mix those.
This is $199 on Amazon now, which is what I paid for it. $125 is a bargain if you're looking for a guitarist-friendly portable phone-free tool.

This is a pretty good deal. I have a little Zoom H1n that I picked up for about $100 a few years back and it's great. I know the use cases are different, but a multitrack recorder for an extra $25 is pretty sweet. It seems like these don't go on sale very often, not even during Prime sales events. I'm tempted to pick this up.

Similarly, I have the Zoom H4N, the bigger brother of this one that has X/Y stereo mics built-in, but I really don't use those and just use external mics instead. I'm considering getting this one just as a backup and a slightly smaller form factor.

Zoom quality has plummeted in recent years. Instead of this, you want their last good basic recorder: Zoom F3 (or F6 if you can afford it). After that, zilch.

I had to do a little digging to find the answer, this does support 48V phantom power for those wondering (for your condenser mics). Looks like a potentially really useful device, especially at this price. In for one, seems like it should fit in well with my synthesizer setup for a project I want to do.

Had this for about a year... really great little recorder for any singer-songwriter or guitar player. Super easy to lay down a rhythm track and then work on your vocals over it. It gives you 4 tracks, but you can bounce as much as you want, so you're not really limited. I mostly just used the built-in mic or plugged in my nicer Neumann with phantom power, works great. Definitely a handy tool for songwriting and a solid deal. The build quality is not as tough as the older zooms though, kind of plasticky.

TASCAM is the leader in multitrack audio and they have DSLR mounts that make it all stupid simple, even when you're just hotshoeing

If you're picking this up, note that it has no onboard memory, so you'll want to get a 128GB or larger microSD if you don't have a spare. It can operate on USB-C power, but for portability it uses 4 AA. Works fine with rechargeables, so if you don't have any extras then you'd want a set of 8 AA (so you can swap 4 at a time when recharging).

Is the build quality the reason why you moved on? I have the h4n, and I can hear some noise with the built in mics. I'm curious how the preamp are for external mics.
Seems like it could be cool as a way of getting song ideas down sans computer.

Several problems: handling noise gets sucked into your mix, way more than prior units and competitors; chassis on all Zoom products now = cheap plasticky scratchable toy surface; Zoom totally ignores due diligence for protecting against electromagnetic interference, which is widely documented (picks up public radio, buzzes around cell phones, etc.).

Hey, I never moved on. I still use this for songwriting. I have also sent these tracks to a producer friend and have done full great sounding recordings. He hasn't complained about noise that I can recall.
