Default Good stain for hard maple

Been trying to find a good stain that will color hard maple to a darkish
honey color. Have tried some MinWax, Formby's and all give a nice even color
but way too light. I'm looking for almost the same darkness as a lot of
"early american" pieces. I've never used gel stains - before I go out and
spend more $$ on testing would this work? Any other suggestions?

Thanx,

Vic
