When I was in Los Angeles in the late 60s, Barcus-Berry gave me their first electro-acoustic violin, which gave the volume needed to play with a loud electric band and with a very low risk of feedback, but I was not so happy with the straight electric sound. So when the first small size sound effect devices came out in the early 70s I got excited because I could then transform my violin sound into something else, making it sort of a new instrument, a total departure from the traditional sound, more adapted to modern styles of music, jazz, rock etc.
