Just throwing this out there... might be more of a speaker question i.e. maybe you need speaker(s) without top end. That would depend on whether you really want "darker" vs. "not bright".
Good questions and I should have been more specific. I prefer head and cab (as I can keep the head by me for aimless fiddling) and I’m good for pedals (hahaha.....although there can always be room for one more!). I’m a Strat player 99% of the time. Used is always an option. Thanks!With that kind of budget your options are wide open. It really just boils down to how much amp do you need.
New or used ? Head and cab or combo ? Pedals too ? No matter what you decide you can pretty well fit your needs and have money left over
This one is probably not what you are looking for but I got into a dark mood just looking at the Fender Excelsior and down right depressed after playing it.
Very Dark

This... had the pro version and that thing was DARK or BRIGHT with no in between... had to get an eq pedal to tame it right. Also has a 15 in speaker so you won't be lacking in the bass end.
