If that is your question, I think not. You have to select the unit as a computer interface while the power is ''Off'' so the recorder would not be functional.

If you mean ''Can I plug the PRS guitar into the Zoom H4 and record it like I would my acoustic?'', yes you can. You just cannot do both at the same time.
yes, it was that latter question i was asking. outstanding! i'm looking forward to playing with this device. actually i want to try to record my fiddle and perhaps add a guitar track to that using, perhaps, garageband.

i'll post a review on it from a complete newb's perspective after i've had a few days with it. i've never really recorded anything other than casually. i have one of those digitech gnx4 multitrack workstations that's the size of a medium dog, but it's too complicated for me and i just use the effects and the ports/interfaces.

again, thanks for the information.

ps: after reading some more online i see that this device has guitar effects like my digitech. i assume it works the same way: you plug in the guitar to the efx box, then the efx box to the amp. but the zoom doesn't seem to have a suitable output for this, does it? i would not think the headphone out jack could be used for this? does this mean that the efx on the zoom are only for recording and not for live play?
