T550 8" High Tom on GEWA G3

Wiring, module settings, and tips for the T550 8" High Tom when used with the GEWA G3.

Yes — the T550 8" High Tom works as a full tom on the GEWA G3: head + rim.

Head Rim

Wiring: 1× TRS per tom → TOM 1, TOM 2, TOM 3 inputs (1/4" TRS jacks)

The tom inputs support dual-zone (head + rim) triggering via center piezo and rim switch.

Connect a 1/4" TRS cable from each tom pad to the TOM 1, TOM 2, or TOM 3 input on the rear panel.

Press the [TRIGGER SET.] button to enter Trigger Set mode.
Turn the dial [5] [<INPUT>] to select the TOM 1, TOM 2 or TOM 3 input.
Press [F1] "Settings".
Turn the dial [6] [<ZONE>] to choose the zone (HEAD or RIM).
Turn the dial [5] to Gain and set it with the dial [7] so your hardest stroke reaches full velocity, then do the same for Threshold so light knocks are ignored.

Head triggers from the center piezo, rim triggers from the rim switch.
Both zones respond independently on the TRS connection (tip = head, ring = rim).
