To avoid the echo like character one could do some preprocessing. Take
a chunk of the tail and make it constant volume (if it is decaying
exponential, this should be possible).
Then fiddle some more with it to make it loop cleanly. Then use that as
response and apply gain and do the feedback delay thing. This would
allow arbitrary envelopes on the tail.
