you just need to specify the deck that the action will apply to.
So,
deck 1 effect_active
deck 2 effect_active
deck 1 effect_active 'Flanger'
deck 2 effect_active 'Echo'
deck 1 effect_select 'Flanger'
deck 2 effect_select 'Echo'
or use deck left /deck right instead to always apply to whatever deck is selected as LEFT/RIGHT in case you use more than 2 decks.
So,
deck 1 effect_active
deck 2 effect_active
deck 1 effect_active 'Flanger'
deck 2 effect_active 'Echo'
deck 1 effect_select 'Flanger'
deck 2 effect_select 'Echo'
or use deck left /deck right instead to always apply to whatever deck is selected as LEFT/RIGHT in case you use more than 2 decks.

Well if that's all you're feeding to VDJ then that's the issue. You're not telling VDJ to apply it to both decks.
It's like getting into a taxi and saying "take me home" without giving your address. :-)
Computers are stupid. You have to specify that you want to apply this to both decks.
djdad beat me to it :-)

but using deck 1 or deck 2 only assigns the the effect to either deck 1 or deck 2, what i am trying to do is is use the same button to select the effect on both decks, other i`ll have to use 1 button for each deck

u need to chain the actions with the & character.
deck 1 effect_select 'Echo' & deck 2 effect_select 'Echo'
deck 1 effect_active & deck 2 effect_active
deck 1 effect_select 'Echo' & deck 2 effect_select 'Echo'
deck 1 effect_active & deck 2 effect_active

Already tried that earlier and it wouldn`t work, so just tried again just for arguments sake and it worked, I must have mispelt something first time around lol.
Thanks for your help guys, that`s why i stick with vdj
