You want a Variac.

You'll need to find a real electrical supply house to buy
one. Most of the "home improvement" stores sell only the
SCR dimmers, which make acoustic as well as electrical
noise and are bad news for a studio. A Variac will cost
you about $100 brand new but people seem to sell them for
about half that on eBay.
Most variacs make a fair amount of acoustical hum, especially under load.
