The Boss BF-2 is a great flanger and I would have been happy to try and tone match it as a flanger, but I didn't (at least not intentionally. It may actually sound really close as a working flanger to the BF-2). I was interested in doing a match on the Ronnie LeTekro settings. Rather than just do an IR for a cab block, I decided to match the flanger response as well as the frequency response. I used my 1981 Boss BF-2 as the reference (supposedly the same model and year Mr. LeTekro used).
I did a preliminary tone match, then proceeded to match the flanger characteristics to the real pedal. Then I did a median tone match and re-calibrated the flanger settings to match the new response. Then a final tone match and test. Here are the final test audio files. This is with the pedal and preset through a clean amp/speaker block.
By ear and by FFT it's really close.
Here is the preset for anyone interested
