Why these settings

The Frontman 15G's built-in overdrive cannot replicate a Mesa Triple Rectifier, so keep the amp on its clean channel with gain low to avoid muddy double-clipping. The DS-1 handles the heavy saturation, with Tone pulled back slightly to counter the bright Strat bridge single-coil and the Frontman's sharp top end. Bass on the amp is kept moderate around 6 so the small 8-inch speaker does not flub out under heavy palm muting.

PRO TIPWes Borland plays this in C# standard / drop C# tuning (or on a 7-string tuned A-D-G-C-F-A-D); tune your Strat down to Drop D and pitch-shift or drop tune to get the necessary low-end string slack and chug.
