I am amazed at the condition of this recorder. It obviously was used. It had 38 tracks recorded. Otherwise you might think it was brand new. I had one just like this from 2007-2013 and this one is much nicer. I'm not a professional musician by any means. I just like to have fun. The Zoom is so easy to use and has all the effects and rythyms I need. Overdubbing and mixing tracks, then burning it to CD is a snap.
