How can I deaden pick attack for tremelo picking?

[Hellbat]

Use a reverb, pick once, and use reverb hold to keep the wash going as long as you want.

I am using a multidelay (set to plex detune) with tremelo picking to try to create an ambient part on a Christian song. The problem is the pick attack is too hard and takes away from the wash effect. Is there a way to deaden it? Thanks!

idea..
maybe try placing the delay in parallel and place a gate block in front of it..
use the attack of the gate to soften the start of the notes
