DigiTech Freqout in a modeler? Yep.

I don’t know if any other brand of modelers currently offers this effect but Hotone added it to the Ampero II Stage v1.3.3 firmware (maybe other Ampero II’s as well.

“ MOD module - Feedback (Amp feedback/howling simulation effect)”

I’ll need to try it out! I have a Freqout to compare it to. Cool to see this kind of thinking and implementation.
 
My 20 year old Boss GT-Pro has a feedback effect; and Boss may have had it on earlier modelers.

For me, I doubt I'll ever get rid of my FreqOut; I love the way it sounds and I don't think modelers will ever implement it the way I want. I don't see feedback as a block to be added to a preset, but rather, an effect that should be always available. That's why my FreqOut stays in front of my FM9.
 
Fractal may not have it… I ran through four modelers today. Medium level gear.

Rank for me, best to last.
Fractal FM3
Hotone Ampero II Stage
AmpliTube ToneX
Hotone Ampero Mini

The FM3 just had something extra. Getting that tone out of @JiveTurkey ’s proposed FM0 would be killer. Would need headphone out and aux in IMO. Cool small form factor like the Ampero Mini would be so sweet.
 
The Helix feedbacker is pretty damn awesome, I have to say.
While I prefer the FreqOut's "natural" harmonies that aren't tied to a specific interval, the Helix Feedbacker is a pretty good alternative. I love not having to add external pedals to my Helix Floor, so color me happy.
