Re: voltage controlled resistor

Does anyone know of an IC chip or discrete component intended to be
used as a variable resistor whose resistance value may be controlled
by varying its voltage input/signal

About 20 years ago I encountered a device consisting of a light source
(LED ?) and a light dependent resistor. IIRC the part came in a
package that was not much bigger than a TO92 transistor. I think
similar schemes are used to provide noiseless volume controls for
musical instruments, eg the expression pedals for pianos and organs.
