I watched someone demonstrating a guitar pedal with this effect and explaining how it works so I created a track template that does the same thing. Basically it's a send to a reverb, then the reverb output is sent to another track that pitch shifts it up 1 octave then that is routed back through the reverb again, and there is some delay on it for additional ambient effect.
Track template is attached and the instructions are:
1. Load the track template.
2. Make sure feedback routing is enabled in project settings.
3. Drag the IO button of the track you want to use the effect on and drop it on the reverb track IO button only.
That's it. Note that I replaced my 3rd party reverb/delay with reaper's reverb/delay so you can just replace those as needed. Here's a snip of the effect in action (note to be careful with the "Octave Up" track send/volume since feedback routing can cause an extremely nasty feedback loop if too loud):

If you use the gmem send/receive plugs you could do this on one track without having to enable feedback routing. The idea of a limiter in the loop is a good one, though some limiters kind of don’t actually and really strong feedback signals can push past the “limit” and still end up stupid loud. A real saturator or clipper is the best way I’ve found to be sure of your ceiling.
OTOH I’m pretty sure there are a couple of JS reverbs that actually just do this effect quite well in one plugin without any extra routing, but I’d have to go look...
