Help me pick a new amp

Current amps: Marshall DSL20HR w/ 1x12, Mesa Mark V 35 w/ 2x12, Supro Delta King 12 combo

Wants:
  • At first it seems like the hole I want to fill is something Fender-y (ignoring the Supro, which is literally just a bedroom amp). If I get something Fender-y, I want it to have tremolo. I don't even know where to start with Fenders, let alone other builders. A footswitch to control tremolo and reverb would be cool.
    • Everything in me believes that the above description is a combo, but I really don't know the options.
  • Pedal Platform: I've read that the Suhr Bella is great at this. What else?
    • What would be a good cabinet to pair it with?
  • I play all sorts of music, but the amp doesn't have to be a catch-all. I feel like the Mesa and Marshall can handle any gain situation I toss at it, but the Marshall is almost always doing the Marshall crunch and the Mesa can do amazing cleans, but I want something even cleaner. Like Mr Clean's head clean.
  • Do I want a combo or a head?
    • I'm actually not sure. The only cabinets I have are a 1x12 Marshall open back and a 2x12 mesa closed back. I could try either with a new head.
    • I have space for a combo, but would need to re-configure the mic situation, so maybe I'd prefer a head.
  • Budget: ~1000, but understand that the a Suhr Bella is more than that.
Thanks for reading.
Here you go its really up to you. there's so many options on tube amps today. Suhr ,vox ac30, tophat , badcat, bogner 20th anniversary Shiva, etc.

Yeah, I gotta play a bunch more shit. I ended up getting a Fillmore 50 for cleans for now.
