I'm playing my little Fender 245sce into a Boss DD500. I like the fingerpicked sound but it's strummed sound has too much " percussive clank" . I know that is desirable in some styles but I'd like something smoother sounding.
The Fishman pickup has a pickup/ body blend control which helps a little.The DD500, while just a delay pedal has a billion tweakable settings. Or do I need another pedal? EQ or Compressor? Any help would be gratefully received.

Nylon pick and reduced attack?
If you're talking about the plugged in sound then it is likely that the undersaddle component is not helping the clank....?
I'm not convinced that a(nother) pedal will help at all if it is indeed the UST at the bottom of the problem. Does increasing the amount of "body" help at all?

Decreasing the body seems to work better. As does increasing the gain and reducing the volume. This made me wonder if a light compressor would help.

Strum with your fingers/nails?
