Of course an amp's looks (such as the "UFO look") contribute to the sound - in an indirect way. It's called the WAF or Wife Acceptance Factor. In many cases it makes the difference between listening to an amp in a plush living room rather than a dusty, acoustically crappy garage. An amp's being labeled as "cute" is all it takes in many cases! ;)
