The Stranger C15 is an unrecognized amp model so I cannot verify its voicing, channels, or exact control layout. Settings are based on the original tone's frequency character: strong mids around 800Hz-2kHz for Zakk's bark, controlled bass for tightness, and moderate gain for grinding crunch. If your amp has presence or reverb knobs not listed here, set presence to 4 and reverb to 0. The original used cranked Marshalls with an SD-1 boost — without pedals, push your amp's gain to get close but expect less saturation than the record.
