Yep. The ML-5 is basically five send and return loops in a box, which can be turned on or off in any combination you want via MIDI commands. In theory it could be controlled from anything that can send the relevant MIDI commands. You could link it to an ES-5 and have ten controllable loops.

Yep, the GigRig Remotest Loopy. There are a couple of other MIDI controlled remote switchers that I know of- I know Voodoo Labs, G-Lab and a Polish company called EM Custom make them. There's TRS triggered ones too, that will work off the TRS (amp channel switching) outputs of something like an ES-5/8.

Interesting….
As for "when am I ready?" You'll never be ready. It works in reverse, you become ready by doing it. - pmbomb
You can also set up patches so that a second tap on the same footswitch on the ES-5 changes something- turns a loop on or off or sends a MIDI command or something. With both in play you can make a single patch a *set* of related sounds.

Ive read that the Browne Protein can be used in split mode using TRS, so what sort of cable do I need for both sides?
From the Browne amps website:
To use with a loop switcher like the RJM Mastermind ect.

The way I interpret it, each TRS cable is now the input and output for that side of the pedal. You connect each TRS cable to its own send/return on your switcher and can remotely bypass one or other or both sides depending on which loops are active on the switcher.
You could do it with one loop on your switcher if you also used something like this:

The switcher's loop send goes to the input, the TRS cables from the pedal go in to the two loops, then the output goes back to the switcher. The switcher tells it which loop to activate via TRS or MIDI.
A sledgehammer to crack a nut? Yes. Yes it is. Although if you had something like an ES-5 with a limited number of loops it might appeal.
What cable? Assuming you can find one that terminates in suitable jacks and is roughly the right length, the simplest would be a male TRS to 2x male TS jacks.
This looks about right:

Failing that, a male TRS to 2x female TS with a very short cable, connected to regular patch leads:

I'd be inclined to avoid that if possible though- more jack sockets means more connections that can get dirty or worn and cut out.

I'd prefer to not have to spend any more money where possible
Considering how many loops the G2 has I don't think you'd need to worry so much about using two unless you had an absolute monster of a pedalboard.
