I know there use to be a number of options for remotely controlled, relay switching of stepped ladder type of volume/balance control (e.g., ones sold by Welbourne that could be built into existing units if space is available). I have one in one of my linestages.
There is a company that I think is still around that offers light-dependent resistor attenuation that is again relay switched by remote control. A friend of mine built a passive linestage around such module and it sounded very good and offered enough steps to allow for fine volume control.
There is a somewhat expensive, but very good sounding option out there from a company called My Emia. They offer an attenuator that uses an autoformer to provide attenuation (by converting current to voltage instead of using resistors to waste signal as heat). I believe that the designer, Dave Slagle, also offers this autoformer volume/balance control as a module that could be built into a linestage rather than being a separate unit. You probably can contact him at My Emia:
