Achieving controlled feedback without speaker…

Have you looked at the Digitech Freqout?

I'm not sure how to do it within KPA

Hahaha, sweet!

How the heck does it work??

Yeah I have a freqout in a loop in the stomp section of my kemper and just switch it in and out via the remote (because I’m on wireless and don’t have any other pedals ..) works great
You could just stick it in your pedal chain and into the front of the kemper as well ...

I read about players who have a very small amp anywhere near them (maybe you can feed it with the signal from the Direct Out or you use a splitter) to get feedback. For example:

For a band with full in-ears, you can still get some guitar in the wedge for this purpose.

Same here.
I tried an Ed O'Brien (of Radiohead) signature strat with an in-built Fernandes sustainer recently and the Freqout is far better.

Really? Didn't expect that because I thought that the feedback note is static on the Freqout (once dailed in) while it is not with natural feedback (depending on the angle between speaker and guitar). What makes the Freqout superior to the Fernandes?

a great way to achieve natural feedback with the Profiler is to connect some sort of mini amp with a built in speaker to the monitor out and control the volume of the monitor out with a dedicated expression pedal.

I found the Freqout to be much more versatile. You can dial different harmonic overtones, not only two like on the Sustainer. Also there's an 'unpredictable' mode that simulates when you stand in front of a cranked stack and the feedback can change radically depending on different angles to the speaker.
I really wanted to like this guitar but it had to go back. It couldn’t hold a candle to the Strats that I already own and to the Freqout.

Thanks Ingolf! Didn't know that the sustainer only has two modes. I thought that it is more like an e-bow but obviously it is not.

On the Axe-Fx, there was a method of simulating feedback by setting a pitch block to an octave above, and then assigning an expression pedal to the mix parameter. As the expression pedal is pressed, the octave gradually gets mixed in until it reaches 100%. I’m guessing something similar might be possible with the Kemper?

Using the freqout as well... only addition to the kemper for me.

The freqout works great and will work well in your situation. Just remember to turn it off at the right time -unless you want to do a full Jimi.

I do exactly this with a Headrush as a wedge. I use a slight bump in volume and reduction in gate strength on my lead tones to get sustain and feedback if I hold the note, but then drop the volume slightly and gate harder on my rhythm sounds so it stays tight and doesn't eclipse my in-ear mix.

I am considering a Freqout for low volume recording though, as there's times I'd like to get some feel going.

Back in the day, I recall a BOSS feedbacker pedal, but I just took the advice of this thread and ordered a Freqout pedal. Finally I will be able to hold that Parisienne Walkways E longer than Gary Moore.
