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.

Seems like it could be cool as a way of getting song ideas down sans computer.
