Sounds to me like the effect is done with a volume pedal. Slide, not so much, if at all. I would try with a volume pedal to see if it does the job.

Depending on your guitar, it MAY be possible to get volume effects by wrapping your LH pinky around the guitar's volume knob. Start with the volume at zero, pick a note, then roll the volume up. With a little practice, this effect ca be quite convincing.
